When they say EASY Oven Southwest Chicken…they definitely mean easy. Just toss some stuff in a dish and bake it. This meal gets the trifecta of cooking: it’s easy, healthy, AND tasty. If it meets all 3 requirements, I’m sold, and this one does.
I served this with rice as a side dish, but I think it’s a requirement for this meal! It really made this single dish into a whole meal, like a Spanish style casserole. Since I think the rice was so imperative to this dish, I added it into the recipe. Trust me, you’ll be glad I did because it’s delish.
