Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 15.5 ounce salsa verde
  • 4 ounce diced green chiles
  • 1 cup white long grain rice
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup roasted corn
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Dash of black pepper
  • 3 tablespoon cilantro

Instructions

1. 1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

2. 2. Stir in the rice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast and the spices to bloom.

3. 3. Pour in the chicken broth, salsa verde, and diced green chiles. Add the shredded chicken and stir to combine everything.

4. 4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

5. 5. Stir in the black beans, roasted corn, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6. Sprinkle the skillet with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings like avocado or red pepper flakes. Serve warm and enjoy!
