This spicy chicken and rice is really, really delicious and super easy to make. It also has a little bite to it which makes it even more delicious! This spicy chicken and rice is definitely great grub!

If you are not into spicy foods, just omit the jalapeno and the spicy Rotel. Just add two regular cans of Rotel. If you like your food with a spicier bite to it, just leave a few seeds from the jalapeno. This will definitely taste great either way, so give it a try.

Making wraps or burritos with this chicken and rice is super easy! Just heat up some tortillas, add some cheese and sour cream to this chicken mixture, wrap it up and enjoy! For breakfast burritos, add scramble eggs and you have another meal that is definitely great to serve for breakfast.
