Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup white rice, uncooked
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, cheese, lime

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Add the Rice

Once the chicken is cooked, add uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow the rice to toast slightly for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Incorporate the Broth and Vegetables

Pour in the chicken broth and add chopped bell peppers, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 5: Simmer the Mixture

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

Step 6: Fluff and Serve

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Use a fork to fluff the rice and mix all ingredients together. Serve it warm, topped with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
