Preparation
1
Cook Rice

  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

2
Prep

  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Drain corn; pat dry with paper towels. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.

3
Make Corn Salsa

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Cover pan if corn begins to pop!

  • Turn off heat; transfer corn to a small bowl. Stir in salsa; set aside until ready to serve.

4
Cook Chicken & Veggies

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, onion, chicken, Southwest Spice Blend, garlic powder, ½ tsp cumin (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Save remaining cumin for another use.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are just beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Lower heat if chicken and veggies begin to brown too quickly.

  • Add ¼ cup water and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup water and 2 TBSP butter for 4). Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

5
Make Crema

  • Place sour cream in a second small bowl. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Fluff rice with a fork. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

  • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with chicken and veggies. Top with Monterey Jack and corn salsa. Drizzle crema over everything and serve.
