Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over medium to high heat. Once hot and shimmering, swirl to coat the pan, then add the chicken, onion, jalapeno, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the onion is beginning to soften. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken and cook 30 seconds. Add the black beans and rice. Stir to coat once more.
- Add the diced tomatoes in their juices and 1 1/2 cups water. Stir to combine the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, then reduce the heat and let simmer 30 minutes. Remove the lid and stir, scraping up any rice that has started to stick to the bottom of the pot. Re-cover and continue to let simmer with the lid on until the rice is tender, 10 to 20 additional minutes, stirring the pot every 10 minutes or so to prevent sticking. If the rice begins to dry out, add a bit more liquid.
- Stir in the green onions. Serve warm with any other desired toppings.

MEXICAN ESSENTIALS: CREAMY CHICKEN OVER RICE
Played about with this for the last few days. I thought about making it into a casserole by mixing it with noodles or rice. I thought about oven baking or stovetop cooking. In the end, I separated the sauce and chicken from the starch, and let it cook low-and-slow in the slow cooker. Then, ladle it over some rice or pasta. So,...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. If you have a skillet big enough to hold the chicken, and then simmer the sauce, use it... It will save cleaning up an additional pot.
- 3. Dried versus Fresh Peppers If you are using dried peppers cut off the stems and attempt to shake out as many seeds as you can. Then, soak in warm water for about thirty minutes, open them up and remove any remaining seeds; finally, chop and reserve. If you are using fresh pepper, remove the stems, the seeds and dice.
- 4. Are Dried Peppers Hotter than Fresh? That depends on how you are measuring them. Fresh peppers contain a lot of water; dried obviously do not. For every pound of dried peppers, it would take 10 pounds of fresh to equal the same heat level. But that is a bit misleading. When you dry out a pepper it loses 90% of its weight to the evaporation of water; however, capsaicin, the part of the pepper that makes the heat, does not evaporate. So, a fresh 10-ounce pepper, once dried, would weigh 1 ounce, but it would still be just as hot.
- 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 6. Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat.
- 7. Add the chicken thighs, and sauté until beginning to brown, 3 - 4 minutes per side.
- 8. Remove from the pan and reserve.
- 9. Add all the sauce ingredients to the pan (except the can of tomatoes) and allow to simmer until the veggies soften, about 8 - 10 minutes.
- 10. Canned tomatoes are already cooked, so there is no need to add them at this point.
- 11. Let cool for 10 minutes, place into a food processor (along with the canned tomatoes) and process until smooth.
- 12. You can leave it slightly chunky, if you prefer.
- 13. Cut the chicken into strips, add them and the sauce to the bowl of a slow cooker, then cook on low for 3.5 - 4 hours.
- 14. After the allotted time, open the cooker and add the finishing touch ingredients.
- 15. Give the mixture a stir and slow cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- 16. Do a final testing for proper seasoning.
- 17. PLATE/PRESENT
- 18. Serve over rice or noodles with some crusty bread and a small side salad. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
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

ONE POT MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE
Chicken seared with Fajita flavours then baked with seasoned rice. This is a flavour explosion in one pot! This recipe makes more rice than for the prescribed number of servings because it is difficult to make less using this method of cooking. So you will probably have leftovers. The rice keeps very well in the fridge for up to 3 days (as does the chicken).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Combine the Mexican Spice Mix ingredients in a small bowl.
- Rub Chicken: Place 2 tbsp of the Mexican Spice Mix in a small bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and lime juice. Mix to combine. Use your hands to slather the Mexican Spice Mix all over each piece of chicken.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a deep skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken in batches for 2 minutes or until browned, then cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove chicken onto a plate.
- In the same skillet, still over medium high heat, add the onion, garlic and capsicum (bell peppers). Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion and capsicum start to brown. These will get covered in the brown bits stuck to the fry pan from searing the chicken (adds flavour and colour to the rice).
- Turn the stove down to medium, then add the rice. Stir to coat the rice grains with the onion mixture and oil.
- Add the chicken stock, tomato puree/passata, corn, beans and remaining Mexican Spice Mix. Stir to combine.
- Place chicken back in the skillet on top of the rice, skin side up. It should be partially submerged in the liquid but most of the skin should be above the liquid.
- Bring to simmer, then turn off the stove. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and place into the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and take off the lid/foil.
- Return the skillet to the oven, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes until only small puddles of liquid remain on the surface of the rice. This step allows the chicken skin to crisp up and the remaining liquid in the rice to largely evaporate.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (uncovered). Any remaining liquid will evaporate in this step.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken and rice.
- Serve, garnished with coriander/cilantro leaves, extra lime wedges and sliced jalapeños, if desired. Sour cream and yoghurt also goes well with this.

Steps:
- In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and turmeric. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and the spices are toasted, about 3 minutes.

Stir together and cook until the rice is heated through and beginning to absorb some of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and sprinkle the pepper jack over the top. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle over the cilantro and serve.

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.
