  • Spice up your dinner routine with this flavor-packed fajita chicken and rice dish! Tender, juicy chicken and a colorful blend of peppers and onions come together with fluffy rice for a meal that's hearty and satisfying, and prepped in one pot. Top it off with some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a zesty finish.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Private Selection Italian extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lime wedges, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish or medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, agave, 1 teaspoon of salt, the oregano, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons of cumin. Add the chicken and toss to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  4. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften.
  5. Add the rice and chicken stock. Season with the remaining teaspoon of cumin, the pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then return the chicken thighs to the pot.
  6. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
  7. Garnish with a squeeze of lime juice and cilantro.
  8. Enjoy!
