01 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
02 -
Toss chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add chicken to pan and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
03 -
Push chicken to one side of pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the other side, then add uncooked rice. Sauté rice for 2 minutes, stirring, until lightly golden.
04 -
Stir in black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Mix thoroughly and bring to a simmer.
05 -
Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed.
06 -
Uncover, taste, and add additional salt and pepper as needed. Stir gently to combine.
07 -
Evenly sprinkle grated cheese over the surface, cover, and let stand off the heat for 2-3 minutes until cheese has melted.
08 -
Top with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, and guacamole before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavour, sauté diced bell peppers or jalapeños along with onions. Incorporate frozen corn in the last 5 minutes of cooking for added texture. Substitute ground beef or turkey for chicken if desired. Omit cheese for a lighter preparation.
