• Add the rice, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is toasted and the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, chili powder and cayenne, cooking just until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
• Mix in the tomatoes, green pepper and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken back to the pan, browned side up, along with any accumulated juices. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes, depending on size of the breasts.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and gently give the rice a quick stir then replace the cover and continue cooking until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1/2-inch slices.
• Turn off the heat under the pan then arrange the sliced chicken on top. Sprinkle with the cheese and green onions then cover the pan again and let stand for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY FIESTA CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Top with onion, corn, black beans, salsa, lime juice, taco seasoning, and dry ranch dressing mix. Add the cream cheese on top.
• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 6-7 hours on low heat (or high heat for 3-4 hours, but I prefer the "low and slow" method).
• Shred the chicken using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily; you can do this right in the slow cooker or remove the chicken and shred it on a cutting board if that is easier).
• Stir the shredded chicken and the shredded pepper jack cheese in with all the ingredients until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
• Use this chicken for tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. The possibilities are endless!
