Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. Set aside. 
Sear chicken
2
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with half the Chili-Cumin Spice Blend, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper. 
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 1-2 min, flipping once halfway through, until golden all over. Transfer to a plate. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 4.)
Start rice
3
  • To the same pot, add remaining Chili-Cumin Spice Blend, corn, tomato sauce base and rice.
  • Remove from heat and briefly toast for 1-2 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant and well combined.
Finish cooking
4
  • To the pot, add stock powder, peppers and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt. Return chicken and any resting juices to the pot. 
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-14 min, until chicken is cooked through, rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.**
Melt cheese
5
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onion. 
  • Once chicken and rice are cooked, remove the pot from heat. 
  • Sprinkle cheese over top, then cover for 1-2 min, until cheese is melted.
