A hearty shredded barbecue chicken casserole with rice, beans, corn, and melted cheese.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cooked rotisserie chicken – about 6 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked minute rice – or 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup black beans – drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • ½ yellow onion – chopped
  • 4 scallions – chopped, about 1 cup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a 9×11 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cut the rotisserie chicken to separate meat from bones and skin. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces using two forks. You will need about 6 cups of shredded chicken.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup uncooked minute rice with 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce.
  4. Add in the 6 cups shredded cooked chicken and mix until evenly coated.
  5. Now add 1 cup black beans, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 cup chopped yellow onion, and 1 cup chopped green onion to the bowl and mix together.
  6. Spread this mixture into an even layer in the casserole dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese and 1 cup mozzarella cheese over top. Bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
  8. Serve immediately.
