Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup bell peppers Mixed colors, sliced
- 1 cup onion Sliced
- 1 cup long-grain rice Uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning Store-bought or homemade

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced bell peppers and onion, cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the rice, chicken broth, and fajita seasoning to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, allowing it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the skillet for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.
- Serve warm, and enjoy this delicious and hearty meal straight from the pan!
