Southwest Cheesy Chipotle Chicken & Rice

If fried rice with a tex mex twist sounds amazing, then you’re in the right place. We use jasmine rice for a firm bite, jalapeño for unmistakable heat, and our Smoked Chipotle and Lime Marinade for a simple seasoning blend with a tangy hit of citrus. This recipe serves one hungry chef, but it doubles easily. For a veggie version, sub black beans for chicken and use all-vegetable broth. It’s delicious either way. Recipe by @PlatesByKody

Directions

Step 1

Slice your vegetables, microwave your corn, and set aside.

Step 2

Cut your chicken into bite-size pieces and season throughly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Grab a medium sized pot with a lid. Cook your chicken until it's browned and fully cooked. Remove from skillet to rest.

Step 4

In that same skillet, add your butter, peppers, garlic, shallots and BRIANNAS Smoked Chipotle and Lime Marinade. Sauté until caramelized.

Step 5

Add your rice and stir often until toasted.

Step 6

Once rice is browned, slowly add your broth. Start with one cup, and stir continuously. Add broth until rice is fully covered, followed by your chicken, parsley/cilantro combo, and corn. Stir and place lid on top.

Step 7

Simmer until broth is gone, then give it a taste. If the rice is still hard, add more broth and simmer until fully cooked and flakey.

Step 8

Once rice is fully cooked, add some cheddar cheese to taste, and mix well until melted.

Step 9

Plate rice and chicken, and enjoy!
