Spicy Rice Casserole

We enjoyed this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious! It's filled with so many good ingredients; kale, corn, boneless chicken breast, and chorizo sausage. :)

This casserole was easy to prepare and just as delicious to eat. Most of the ingredients I used are usually ingredients I have on hand. There's a balance of vegetables, proteins, and carbs. 

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp of olive oil
• 3 Tbsp of all purpose flour
• 3 cups of water
• 4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 2 whole boneless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 tsp of black pepper
• 1/4 tsp of onion powder
• 1 chorizo sausage, sliced and cubed
• 2 cups of kale, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup of corn, fresh or frozen
• 1/4 cup of chopped onions
• 2 cups of thinly shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 cups of minute rice

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° degrees.

In a medium-sized pot, add the olive oil and heat just until the oil is hot. Stir in the flour until well blended. Add the three cups of water and chicken bouillon cubes and stir and cook the mixture until it boils. Add the chicken breast black pepper, and onion powder. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done. Remove from heat and set aside.

Using a 13"x 9" baking pan, add the chopped chorizo sausage, kale, corn, onions, cheese, and rice, in that order. Add the chicken mixture to the pan by pouring it to completely cover the rice.
