Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, half the broth concentrate, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
    To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Drain and rinse beans.
  • To a large bowl, add Tex-Mex paste, remaining broth concentrate and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Season chicken all over with half the Enchilada Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
Cook chicken and veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Cook in 2 batches for 4 servings, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) 
  • Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.) 
  • Transfer chicken to the bowl with Tex-Mex mixture. Set aside.
