Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
6 large chicken drumsticks
1 large Beefsteak tomato
1 small Vidalia onion
3 garlic cloves
2 cups long grain uncooked rice
1 can (7 ounces) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 cups of water
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Lime, wedges (optional)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Season chicken drumsticks with 1/2 packet of taco seasoning mix.
  • Sear chicken drumsticks on a medium high heat skillet with just a touch of oil. Once chicken is brown all around, set chicken aside.
  • On a food processor or blender, blend tomato, onion, and garlic. Add this into a large skillet, over medium high heat and let it cook for a minute or two.
  • Keep adding the rest of the ingredients to the pan: rice, chiles, corn, peas, and the remainder taco seasoning mix. Stir well and cook for a minute or two. Adjust salt level to taste.
  • Add water and bring to a boil.
  • Place chicken on top of the rice.
  • Cover well, and cook on low for 20-25 minutes until rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
  • Serve with a generous sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a good squeeze of lime.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some extra spices next time.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and rice are cooked together in one pot, which saves time and cleanup. The flavors are also very good.
