Instructions
- 1Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat, which is 163°C, and add the 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the about 680 g Chicken Breast, cut into 2.54 cm pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C. Stir in the 2 teaspoons Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 0.5 teaspoon Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon Pepper, cooking for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- 2Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped, and the 2 cloves Garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and translucent.
- 3Stir in the 2 cups Cooked Rice, the 1 can (about 410 g) Diced Tomatoes (undrained), the 1 cup Corn, and the 1 can (about 425 g) Black Beans (rinsed and drained). Mix everything together well.
- 4Pour the 1.5 cups Enchilada Sauce over the chicken and rice mixture. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly with the sauce.
- 5Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer over medium heat, 163°C, for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and the mixture is bubbling.
- 6Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese evenly over the top. Place the lid back on the skillet for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
- 7Serve the Chicken and Rice Enchilada Skillet immediately.
