This One Skillet Chicken Ro-Tel and Rice is a meal that is super simple and a crowd pleaser! It is one of our favorite go-to meals, only uses one skillet and is ready in less than 30 minutes!
This recipe is one I found in an ad for Ro-Tel in a magazine some 20 years ago and has become a family favorite and a go to on busy nights when I haven’t planned anything for supper! It has become super important since I started working full time on the farm – Chris tried to tell me it was a promotion, 2 years later I still question that!
It’s even part of my very special backsplash – it is that important of a recipe.
This recipe also heats up well in the microwave. When it feels like kids are running different directions, some of us are working late in the fields and everyone around the table at once just isn’t going to happen.
There is also that once in a million chance there are leftovers for lunch the next day!
Chicken Ro-Tel
I have started with frozen chicken breast. It does take just a tick longer to cook the chicken but not a big deal at all! Which is one reason this is a recipe you want in your back pocket and can pull out anytime you need it!

I have a similar recipe using just green chiles instead of the Rotel, and this variation gives it a nice twist!
