Southwest Chicken and Rice Casserole

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Spray a 4-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Add chicken, uncooked rice, black beans, and corn and stir until combined. Set aside.

Step 3
Mix tomato sauce, 2 cups chicken broth, sour cream, chili powder, salt, cumin, ancho chile pepper, and white pepper together in a large bowl. Pour into the casserole dish and mix well; contents should be fairly soupy. Cover with foil.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, uncover, and stir.

Step 5
Add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth if the casserole is too dry or beginning to stick. Cover again and return to the oven until rice is soft, about 40 more minutes.

Step 6
Remove foil, stir contents, and sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese. Return to the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
