Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted, stirring frequently.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  3. 3

    While the rice is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

  6. 6

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin strips. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it topped with sautéed vegetables and sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
