Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 cups chicken broth warm
- 2 large chicken breasts diced
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- one ml can diced tomatoes
- one ounce can black beans drained and rinsed well
- 1 cup corn fresh, canned or frozen
- one ml can chopped green chilies
- 2 cups Monterey Jack shredded cheese
- cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Mix the rice with the hot chicken broth in a large liquid measuring cup and let sit while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Season the diced chicken breast with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large lidded saucepan pan and add the onions. Saute until tender crisp. Add in the chicken breast and saute until all sides of the chicken are browned.
- Add the garlic and saute until browned and fragrant, around 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Stir the chicken mixture to heat the spices until fragrant.
- Pour in the rice mixture and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add the diced tomatoes, beans, corn, and chilies. Stir well.
- Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir, making sure that nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cover and let cook again for another 10 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over top, followed by the cilantro. Place the lid back on top and let the cheese melt.
- Serve warm.
