I suggest cooking the rice and water together first in the microwave - 5 min on high, then about 10 minutes on 50%. Or, buy the rice that is already cooked. Thaw and drain the corn, again using microwave. I prefer using the pre-cooked chicken (frozen/thawed or rotisserie), and mixing it in with the rest of the ingredients before baking at 375 for 30 minutes.

Rice mixture for 45 minutes, added precooked frozen cubed chicken and stirred, then sprinkled the cheese on top and cooked for an additional 10 minutes. I doubled the black pepper and used paprika instead of cumin. Tastes great, however I'm disappointed that the rice didn't cook all the way.

Took over an hour to cook. Couldn't find the soup it called for. Was very very bland.

I could not find the soup that it called for in the recipe. So went with the Cheesy Chicken Enchillada soup. It certainly smelled good but I was disappointed in the fact that it was pretty bland as far as taste. easy recipe, though. I am going to try it again but spice it up some. Maybe taco seasoning next time like other's recommend.

This was SO GOOD! I used a 4 qt glass dish instead of a 2 qt so it was spread thinner and therefore cooked in the 30 minutes stated in the recipe. I used brown rice instead of white and I could not find Chicken Enchilada soup but I did find Cheesy Chicken Enchilada soup and it was yummy! Had to add a little Kosher salt when it came out of the oven, but it was ultimately DELICIOUS! Definitely making this again.

I changed it up some. I used the pre-cooked canned/bagged chicken that you buy in the tuna aisle. I couldn't find the soup this called for so I used the Progresso Chicken Tortilla soup. Everything else is the same, tho I cooked it for an hour before it wasn't soupy, then added the cheese. I also added in a packet of taco seasoning to give it a bit more of a kick. We also like to scoop this up on tortilla chips, and the tortilla rounds like a chicken enchilada. Taste came out very good.

This is a crowd pleaser in my house. I cut the chicken into bite sized chunks and add extra corn and I tripled the cumin because we love it. Takes a lot longer to cook than time stated for the rice to cook through. We add sour cream to it when serving. Dont double the recipe in the same pan - will take hours to cook.

I fixed it!!! The reviews were saying it was bland, took too long etc. I sued a frozen bag of vegtables, the southwestern type which had the beans, the corn AND green and red peppers. I then substituted paprika for the cumin (not a big cumin fan). It did need to cook uncovered for about 40 minutes, then the cheese went on top but it was a great crowd pleaser- no left overs. I will definately make it again.

This recipe needs to be cooked uncovered for about 40 minutes. Plus I couldn't find the exact soup it called for so I had to substitute a different kind all together. I found a chicken tortilla soup. As far as the spices, I added about a 1/4 cup taco seasoning to it as well as salt, pepper, and a little garlic. You could also add salsa on top or in the mix. With these changes the recipe is quite good.

Not very good. There was no spice to this and it was really runny. I had to cook it for almost double what the cook time was and the rice was still a little hard and I was also worried the chicken would be overcooked. I would not make this again.
