ONE POT CHICKEN ENCHILADA RICE CASSEROLE

One Pot Chicken Enchilada Rice Casserole image

Everything you know and love about the flavour of Chicken Enchiladas.....but in the form of a rice casserole! And all made in ONE POT on the stove! I like the flow of this recipe because you don't need to measure everything out in advance. After cooking the bell pepper (capsicum) add the passata and chicken broth, then while that comes to a simmer you can gather all the spices. Saves time! This recipe makes a LOT. Because it is carb heavy, I think it is enough to feed 6.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
400g (13oz) chicken breast, about 1/3"/1cm thick, sliced horizontally into thin steaks (Note 1)
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red bell pepper/capsicum, diced
680g (24oz) tomato passata or crushed canned tomatoes* (Note 2)
3 cups chicken broth or water (750ml)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn (250g)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper* (spicy - adjust to taste)
1 tbsp dried oregano*
2 tsp cumin*
1 1/2 tsp coriander*
2 tsp onion powder*
1 tbsp brown sugar*
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups (270g) white rice (short, medium or long grain (, uncooked (Note 4))
1 - 1 1/2 cups grated cheese (about 125 - 150 g)
Chopped cilantro/coriander (optional)

Steps:

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in large skillet.
Add chicken and cook each side for 2 minutes or until cooked, then remove onto a plate.
Add extra oil if the skillet is looking dry. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 1/2 minutes until starting to soften.
Add bell peppers and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except rice and cheese. Bring to simmer, then add rice.
Stir, cover with a lid and turn down heat to medium low. Cover and cook until rice is cooked but not mushy and most of the liquid is absorbed - about 15 to 18 minutes. (Note 3). Do not stir while it cooks.
Meanwhile, shred or roughly chop chicken.
When rice is cooked, quickly stir chicken through, sprinkle with cheese then pop under broil / grill until golden and bubbly.
