Fajita Chicken And Rice Bake With Nacho Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a medium bowl, combine spices to make fajita seasoning, or use store-bought.
• In a large bowl, combine, onion, peppers, and chicken.
• Add oil and seasoning, and mix until seasoning is fully incorporated.
• In a casserole dish, add rice and chicken broth. Then lay down all veggies and chicken.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50-55 minutes until rice is fully cooked.
• Serve with tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a shallow dish or medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, agave, 1 teaspoon of salt, the oregano, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons of cumin. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Add the onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften.
• Add the rice and chicken stock. Season with the remaining teaspoon of cumin, the pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then return the chicken thighs to the pot.
• Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Start boiling the rice in 2 cups of water, covered. This should take 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
• Stir in the 1/2 cup water and fajita seasoning.
• Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, corn and garlic.
• Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken and vegetables are cooked and the liquid has mostly reduced.
• Add the salsa to the chicken mixture in the pan and stir.
• When the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid, add the rice to the chicken salsa mixture and stir. Pour into a 10x6 or equivalent baking tray.
• Top with 1 cup of the cheese.
• Crush the nachos into crumbs and scatter evenly over the cheese.
• Top with the remaining cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until bubbling.
• Serve and enjoy!
