1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

Add butter to a medium-size skillet. Heat over medium heat until melted.
Add in the tomatoes, onion, pepper, salt and garlic powder. Mix to combine and saute for 5-6 minutes.
Next, add the rice and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer (this was medium heat for me) and cover. Simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Finally, stir in the chicken until heated through. Taste and add any salt or pepper to preference.
Serve up in a bowl and top with your favorite toppings to really elevate all the flavors! I love shredded cheese, sour cream and avocado!

Notes

*I recommend adding seasoned chicken to this dish (versus plain chicken). If you do use plain chicken, you will likely need to add more seasoning to this dish so just taste and adjust accordingly!
