Print Recipe

A delicious and easy-to-make one-pan meal featuring tender chicken, flavorful salsa verde, and fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  2. Add the salsa verde, rice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir in corn and top with cheese, if using. Cover for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños to the skillet.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave.
