Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 14 cups reduced fat free chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (Rotel)
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 14 teaspoon black pepper
  • 14 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 34 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Method

  • Saute the onion and garlic in large skillet until tender.
  • Add broth and tomatoes/chillies and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in rice.
  • Stir for a minute.
  • Reduced heat to a simmer.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, pepper and cummin.
  • Place over rice mixture.
  • Cover skillet and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir rice and turn chicken over for additional 5-10 minutes until chicken juices are clear.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle chicken with cheese; cover let stand for 5 minutes.
  • The hardest thing with this recipe is to get all the rice cooked all the way through.
  • The original recipe didn't call for stirring the rice while cooking but we can't figure out a way to get it all cooked without doing so.
