Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into small pieces
- 1 chorizo sausage sliced
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- ½ green bell pepper chopped
- 2 tablespoon canned jalapeno chopped
- 10 ounce enchilada sauce
- 1 cup rice I used Basmati rice
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- black pepper freshly ground
For toppings
- tomatoes chopped
- cilantro chopped
- avocado chopped
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil then add chicken and sausage. Cook until chicken is no longer pink.
- Add in the onion and garlic and cook for a couple more minutes or until onion is translucent. Throw in the bell peppers and jalapeno and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add rice, enchilada sauce, chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. I didn't really add any salt, just about 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook on low heat until rice is cooked and all the sauce has almost disappeared.
- Add ½ of the cheese and stir. Top with remaining cheese and place under the broiler for a couple minutes or until cheese melts.
- Top with tomatoes, cilantro, avocado and green onions. Serve warm.
