Chicken and Rice Casserole with a Latino Twist

My husband likes his casseroles. Barf.

2 c. cooked rice-- doesn't get mushy if it's been cooled. Great way to use leftover rice.
2 c. shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 1/2 c. cooked, chopped chicken
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 c. finely chopped red onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c. finely chopped cilantro
2 T. butter
1 T. diced jalapenos (opt.)

Preheat 350

Lightly grease casserole dish. Combine rice, cheese, chicken, evaporated milk, onion, eggs, cilantro, butter, and jalapenos in casserole dish. Stir well. Bake 45-50 minutes until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
