Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. 

  • In a small bowl, reserve half of one packet smoky red pepper crema (whole packet for 4 servings). (Save remaining crema for serving.)

  • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko, pepper jack, half the Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.

  • Quarter lime

2
Roast Chicken

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and place in oven-ready tray; season all over with salt and pepper(For 4 servings, divide between two trays.)

  • Brush a thin layer of reserved smoky red pepper crema over tops of chicken; mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat undersides!). Wash out bowl.

  • Transfer tray to middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!). Roast until topping is crisp and chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, roast two trays side by side on middle rack.) 

3
Warm Rice

  • When chicken has 5 minutes remaining, drain corn and add to bowl used for panko.

  • Massage rice in package to separate grains and add to bowl with corn. Season with remaining Fajita Spice Blend, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Let rest 1 minute.

  • Carefully uncover bowl; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

4
Serve

  • Divide chicken and rice between plates. Drizzle with remaining smoky red pepper crema and serve with remaining lime wedges.
