Food Storage Recipe Southwestern Chicken and Rice

I recently came home from a trip to Phoenix where I had some awesome Southwestern food.  The tastes out there inspired this quick and easy casserole made with 100 percent food storage ingredients.  You really can’t beat the ease and time savings that freeze dried foods provide.  This meal only takes 25 minutes and is perfect for a cool fall night.
