Step-by-Step Instructions for Salsa Verde Chicken & Rice Skillet
- Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Sprinkle this spice blend into the skillet and stir for about 1 minute.
- Add 1 drained can of black beans, 1 cup of roasted corn, 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, and 1 can of diced green chiles to the skillet. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of salsa verde, then add 1 cup of long grain white rice.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for about 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and let it cook for approximately 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, check the rice for doneness. If liquid remains or the rice isn't tender, cover again and let it simmer for an extra 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork, serve warm garnished with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and red pepper flakes.
