Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1½ pounds chicken thighs (boneless skinless cut into bite sized pieces)
2 tablespoons Tex Mex seasoning
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
1 large onion (chopped)
2 medium bell peppers (red and green, chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
15 ounce fire roasted tomatoes ((1 can diced))
15 ounce black beans (drained and rinsed)
8 ounces corn (canned or frozen, drained if canned)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2½ cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
1 cup long grain rice (such as Jasmine or Basmati)
1½ cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 lime (cut in wedges for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken: In a large skillet or braiser, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh pieces and sprinkle the Tex Mex seasoning over the chicken. Stir and cook for 5 until the chicken is browned.
  • Cook onion and peppers: To the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Cook the rice: Next, add the tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, chicken broth and rice. Stir everything and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The rice is done when all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat.
  • Finish the rice: Add 1 cup of the cheese and gently stir. Top with remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese, cover and let it sit for about 3 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
