- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with chilies undrained
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and get a 9x13 inch baking dish ready by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, instant rice, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, frozen onion and bell pepper mix, the undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and fajita seasoning. Mix well, then stir in half of the shredded cheese.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes until the rice becomes tender.
- After taking it out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and put it back in until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad or some warm tortillas for an extra touch! Enjoy!
