MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE



Mexican Chicken and Rice image

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.-Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska

Categories     Chicken Thighs

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
½ medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 ½ cups long grain white rice, uncooked
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), liquid drained and reserved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup water
1 ½ cups frozen green peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Combine salt, granulated garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both sides of chicken thighs.
  • Combine butter and olive oil in a deep-sided, 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter is melted and foamy. Swirl the butter and oil together and place chicken thighs in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until just brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan with tongs and set aside. Keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and chili powder; cook and stir until rice begins to pick up some color, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in drained tomatoes and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved tomato liquid, chicken broth, and water; bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Place browned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture; do not submerge. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove cover, increase heat to medium, and gently stir in thawed peas. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.

  • (optional) Add all of the Jalapeno Ranch ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Add additional milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Refrigerate. (Best chilled. Can be made 24 hours+ ahead of time). Dressing will thicken as it chills so you will probably need to stir in additional milk when ready to serve.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Saute onions for 4 minutes. Add chicken and continue to cook until no longer pink on the outside (it will cook fully with the rice). Add garlic and saute 30 seconds.
  • Turn heat to low and add water, enchilada sauce, rice, corn, fire roasted tomatoes, green chilies and all seasonings/spices. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring at 10 and 15 minutes.
  • Once rice is done, stir in refried beans until smooth followed by 3/4 cup cheese until smooth. Top with remaining cheese, cover and cook on low until cheese is melted. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados etc. and either sour cream or the Jalapeno Ranch. Serve with plenty of chips!
