Total Time 1 hours 25 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 55 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, Private Selection Italian
4 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons agave nectar
4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 small yellow onion, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 cup white long grain rice, rinsed
1 ½ cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon black pepper
Lime wedge, for garnish
fresh cilantro, for garnish

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!

Easy Cheesy Fajita Chicken and Rice Recipe - Food.com image

I came up with this recipe one night while submerged in the depths of a fajita craving. I serve it over white rice with the cheese blend melted down over top. Sometimes I spice things up with a dollop of sour cream; as it melts down over the hot chicken and rice it makes the juice all creamy and delicious.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large vidalia onion
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast

  • Rough chop onion.
  • Sauté over medium heat until soft and translucent, remove from heat.
  • Cook chicken breast over medium heat until mostly done, remove from heat and allow to cool until it can be comfortably handled.
  • Shred chicken.
  • Add chicken and onion back to pan.
  • Mix seasoning packet in 3/4 to 1 cup of water.
  • Pour over chicken and onion.
