Steps:
- Combine salt, granulated garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both sides of chicken thighs.
- Combine butter and olive oil in a deep-sided, 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter is melted and foamy. Swirl the butter and oil together and place chicken thighs in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until just brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan with tongs and set aside. Keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium and add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and chili powder; cook and stir until rice begins to pick up some color, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in drained tomatoes and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved tomato liquid, chicken broth, and water; bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
- Place browned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture; do not submerge. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove cover, increase heat to medium, and gently stir in thawed peas. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid over medium to high heat.

Add the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken and cook 30 seconds. Add the black beans and rice. Stir to coat once more.
- Add the diced tomatoes in their juices and 1 1/2 cups water. Stir to combine the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, then reduce the heat and let simmer 30 minutes.

Re-cover and continue to let simmer with the lid on until the rice is tender, 10 to 20 additional minutes, stirring the pot every 10 minutes or so to prevent sticking.

- Crockpot Mexican Chicken. This recipe is so much more than just shredded chicken. Thanks to the chipotle peppers in adobo, it’s smokey, sweet, and wonderfully spicy.
- Mexican Chicken and Rice. This is best made in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan. The reason is, you’ll want to cook everything in the same pot so you can use all the juices for maximum flavor.
- Mexican Chicken Casserole. Many Mexican or Tex-Mex meals are full of tomatoes, making them fresh and acidic. This recipe, on the other hand, is crazy-creamy and brimming with chicken flavor.
- Skinny Mexican Chicken Skillet. This is the perfect recipe if you want to indulge in Mexican flavors without going overboard on cheese. Loaded with lean chicken breast, corn, and beans, it’s packed with color, terrific texture, and tons of flavor.
- Mexican Chicken and Beans. This recipe only calls for six ingredients (one of which is water), and I’ll bet you have the rest ready to go. Even if you don’t have any Mexicorn, you can use regular easily enough.
- Chicken Enchiladas. Ever since I was a kid, I haven’t been able to resist chicken enchiladas. To this day, I order them every time we go out for Mexican food.
- Grilled Chicken Street Tacos. Street tacos are essentially regular tacos; only they’re typically smaller and therefore easier to grab and go. Also, these are usually only filled with meat, fresh salsa, and onion, making them much lighter.
- Chicken Burritos. Remember that Mexican chicken you already made in the Crockpot? This is the ideal recipe to use it in! Of course, you can also cook the chicken on the stove with lots of taco seasoning if you’re in a rush.
- Chicken Chimichangas. Chimichangas aren’t as prevalent as burritos, which is a real shame because I love their crunchy texture. In my opinion, when filling and burrito or chimichanga, you should use either shredded chicken or chop it relatively small.
- Mexican Chicken Soup. If you have a sniffle or aren’t feeling great, you’ll have to try this fresh and spicy Mexican chicken soup. The peppers will help to clear your airways, and I bet it will brighten you up in no time.
