Preparation
1
Cook Rice
  • In a small pot, combine rice and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

2
Prep
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomatoes into ¼-inch pieces.

3
Cook Veggies
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.

4
Add Chicken
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • To pan with veggies, add chicken, scallion whites, garlic powder, Fajita Spice Blend, half the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes.

  • Stir in ¼ cup water, stock concentrate, and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has melted and sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.

5
Make Salsa & Mix Rice
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine scallion greens, remaining tomatoes, salt, and pepper.

  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in queso until fully combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

6
Serve
  • Divide queso rice and Tex-Mex chicken between bowls; top with salsa and serve.
