Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole; set aside. In a large saucepan combine broth and rice. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, in another large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender. Remove from heat.
- Add corn, shredded chicken, tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the chili powder, and the rice mixture to onion mixture; stir until well mixed. Transfer to the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and mixture is heated through. If desired, top with sour cream, cilantro, and sliced green onions.

This was really tasty, and I liked that it was made with things I normally have in the house. I substituted salsa for the diced tomatoes to give it a little more flavor
