Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) and cook the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (2 lb) . Add the Taco Seasoning (2 Tbsp) and Dried Oregano (1 tsp) over the chicken and cook for 5 minutes until browned and the seasonings are fragrant.
Step 2
Stir in Onion (1) , Green Bell Peppers (2) , and Tomato Paste (1 Tbsp) and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomato paste has deepened in color.
Step 3
Add the Garlic (4 cloves) and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the Diced Tomatoes (1 can) , Corn (1 can) , Cayenne Pepper (1 tsp) , Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (2 1/2 cups) , and Long Grain White Rice (1 cup) . Stir everything together and bring it to a boil.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20-25 minutes stirring often, making sure nothing burns. The rice is done when all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Add 1 cup of the Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 1/2 cups) and gently stir.
Step 7
Top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese, cover, and let it sit for about 3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Step 8
Garnish with Fresh Cilantro (2 Tbsp) and serve with Lime Wedges (1) .
