There is nothing quite like a warm bowl of rice loaded with seasoned chicken, beans, and melted cheese. This recipe is a staple in my house because it comes together in just one pan, making cleanup a breeze.

My favorite part is that you can adjust the heat to your liking by choosing mild or spicy diced chiles. If you want a bit of extra crunch, try adding some fresh lettuce or crushed tortilla chips right before you serve it.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen fire roasted corn
1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, and avocado

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with salt and pepper, cooking until they are browned on all sides.
3
Stir in the rice, chicken broth, black beans, corn, tomatoes with green chiles, chili powder, and cumin.
4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.
5
Simmer for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6
Remove the lid, sprinkle the cheese over the top, and cover again for two minutes so the cheese melts perfectly.
7
Remove from the heat and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat this bowl in the microwave with a splash of water to keep the rice fluffy. It tastes great topped with fresh lime juice or extra cilantro.
