👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place chicken breast halves into a large saucepan, and fill the pan with water.

Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes, or until done.

Remove chicken from water.

When cool enough to handle, cut meat into bite-size pieces.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, combine Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses.

In a separate bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion, and salsa.

Layer 1/2 of the rice, 1/2 of the chicken, 1/2 of the soup and salsa mixture, and 1/2 of the cheese mixture in prepared dish.
