In a large saucepan, combine cubed chicken, vegetable oil, taco seasoning, and minced garlic.
Preheating the oven to 350 degrees, lubricate a 9 by 13-inch dish.
Green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and salsa should be combined.
In a baking dish, assemble half of the rice, half of the poultry, and half of the soup and salsa mixture. Two tablespoons of cheese should be sprinkled on top. Once more, repeat the layers, concluding with the cheese.
After forty minutes, garnish with minced cilantro.
