Cooking Instructions

step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

step 2

Cut the Chicken Breast (1 lb) into 1/2 to 1-inch strips.

step 3

In a bowl, toss the chicken and half the Taco Seasoning (1/2 packet) seasoning until combined.

step 4

In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp). Once hot, add the chicken and sear until no longer pink, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

step 5

Add Yellow Onion (1) and Green Bell Pepper (1) to the same pan with the remaining Taco Seasoning (1/2 packet). Cook until the veggies are softened, 4-5 more minutes.

step 6

Remove from heat. Add the cooked White Rice (1 cup) and Chunky Salsa (1 jar) and stir until everything is mostly combined.

step 7

Add to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and top with the chicken, pressing it down into the rice. Sprinkle Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 cup) over the top.

step 8

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbling and the chicken is cooked through.

step 9

Let cool, then serve with toppings like Scallions (to taste) or Sour Cream (to taste).
