Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Ground black pepper, to taste
2 ¼ teaspoons chili powder, divided
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 (14.5 ounce) can Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes, drained
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
½ fresh tomato, sliced
4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix together adobo seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder. Season 1 side chicken breasts with the mixture.
  • Place olive oil in a large saucepan over medium; heat until the oil shimmers. Place chicken pieces in hot oil, seasoned side down. Brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add chopped onion to pot and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice, Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes (drained), corn, garlic, and remaining 2 teaspoons of chili powder, stirring to combine.
  • When ingredients are well combined, add chicken broth, and stir.
  • Place browned chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture, with browned side up, being careful not to submerge chicken.
  • Cover and bake 15 minutes, then remove lid and continue baking about 5 minutes more.
  • When chicken internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), place a slice of tomato and slices of avocado on top of each piece, and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.
  • Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.
  • Plate cooked chicken, then fluff rice with a fork, and serve alongside chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro and snipped chives, if desired.

MONTERREY CHICKEN

This is such an quick and easy recipe with great flavor. A local restaurant would serve this as a very popular item on their menu. After the chef left, my daughter asked him how he cooked it and we couldn't believe it was so simple. It's good with a salad and your favorite toasted French bread.
