1/2 c sour cream
2 4 ounces cans diced green chiles, drained well
10 ounces diced, pre-cooked chicken
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tbsp cumin
Plenty of salt and pepper
2 c shredded cheese (I used a combo of white cheddar and pepper jack, but Monterey Jack is really good too.)

6. In a mixing bowl, add egg and milk. Whisk until well combined.
7. Pour the mixture into the rice mixture and stir until well mixed.
8. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top of the casserole.
9. Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until done.
