Ingredientes

• 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 1 cup long-grain rice (white or brown)
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup queso cheese sauce
• 1 cup chopped bell peppers (mix of red and green)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion and bell peppers, and mincing the garlic.

2. 2

   In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened (about 5 minutes), adding garlic for the last minute.

3. 3

   Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; place in the pot and sear each side until golden brown (about 4 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Stir in rice and chicken broth, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Lower heat and mix in queso cheese sauce until combined. Cover and let everything simmer on low for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

6. 6

   Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh cilantro.
