    Recipe Introduction


    This rice entrée can be pleasantly spicy or seriously fiery simply by adjusting the amounts of chili powder, jalapeno pepper, and black pepper. If you'd like, when stirring in the rice add one 15-ounce can beans, drained and rinsed, such as black beans, kidney beans, or garbanzo beans.

    List of Ingredients




    Chili Rice With Chicken


    1 tbsp. olive oil
    12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 2-by-¼-inch strips
    ½ green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
    ½ red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
    ½ c. minced onion
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tsp. minced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
    1 tsp. chili powder, or to taste
    2 tsp. minced fresh oregano, or ½ tsp. dried (see Tip)
    ½ tsp. ground cumin
    3 cups cooked rice (long-grain white or brown)
    One 14 ½-ounce can diced tomatoes, with juice
    ½ tsp. black pepper, or to taste

    Recipe




    Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

    Add the chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it is no longer pink on the outside.

    Stir in the bell peppers, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, chili powder, dried oregano (if using), and cumin.

    Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

    Reduce the heat to medium.

    Stir in the rice, tomatoes with juice, fresh oregano (if using), and pepper.

    Heat through, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.


    This dish will keep for up to 2 days in the refrigerator and reheats well.
