Ingredients

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 medium-sized yellow onion
  • 1 1/2 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • grated Mexican cheese (measure with your heart)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Mix together your seasonings, and roll your chicken through it until it's coated on the outside.
  3. Put on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, slice all your veggies fajita style.  Remove stems and seeds from the peppers and set aside.
  5. Once the chicken is done, let it cool enough to handle.  Slice it into thin slices.
  6. In a large casserole dish or baking pan, add your rice and stock.  Cover it with the chicken and veggies, distributing them evenly.  
  7. Go HARD on the cheese.  Cover the whole thing in cheesy goodness.
  8. Cover, and place in your previously heated oven and bake for about 45 minutes.  If the rice isn't done, return it to the oven and check again in another ten minutes. 
  9. Serve with guac, Easy Pico de Gallo, and sour cream!  Also great in a tortilla or with chips.
