Ingredients

  • 1 lb. cooked, shredded chicken (I love to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. granulated onion
  • 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 10 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup corn kernels, roasted in a skillet
  • 1/2 cup fire-roasted chili peppers or roasted red peppers from a jar, use what you prefer
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, I love Alma Creamery Co-Jack Cheese
  • small round tortilla chips optional
  • additional diced fire-roasted peppers, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, as garnish optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook garlic for 20 seconds. Add granulated onion, rice, spices, chicken, diced tomatoes and green chilies, salsa, and broth; bring to a boil, covering skillet with a lid or foil. Reduce heat and simmer ingredients until rice is tender, 12-15 minutes.
  • Stir in corn and roasted peppers, cooking until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove skillet meal from heat and top with chips as desired, I typically use about a cup or so. Sprinkle chips with cheese; cover skillet with lid for one minute to let cheese melt.
  • Serve at once, garnished with diced tomatoes, additional diced fire-roasted peppers, and fresh cilantro, as desired.
