Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Burrito Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking dish (2-3 quart). Grease the dish lightly.
  2. Mix together the diced onion, bell pepper, long-grain white rice, and corn kernels. Add chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, oregano, and salt.
  3. Gently fold in the shredded chicken, distributing it evenly across the mixture. Pour the chicken broth over the top and stir well.
  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top. Bake uncovered for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
