This Honey Lime Chicken and Rice Bake makes a great weeknight dinner! It is easy to make and tastes great even after it's been frozen. You've got to try this casserole your whole family is sure to love! Simple dinner | Freezer friendly

I love honey and lime together! I am part of a freezer cooking club, and this Honey Lime Chicken Bake is one of the meals we made this month. It was a big hit with my family. Freezer casseroles that I can just pop into the oven are my favorite! I love slow cooker meals too, but I often don’t plan well enough to put dinner in the Crock Pot in time for it to be ready for dinner. That’s why this chicken and rice bake is moving to the top of my list of favorite freezer meals.

This meal has some spicy Mexican flavor with the salsa verde and chili powder. If you want even more heat, you could add extra green chiles or chipotle powder. When I prepared this meal, I didn’t have any cheddar cheese, so I topped it with mozzarella, and I loved the result! It gave the meal a smothered burrito kind of feel. I hope you enjoy it.
