Description
A simple one-pan meal combining seasoned chicken, rice, and taco flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup white rice, uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in taco seasoning mix until the chicken is coated.
- Add uncooked rice, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

- Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

Notes
- For extra flavor, use brown rice, but adjust cooking time as needed.
