Fast, easy, flavorful, and satisfying—this one-skillet, Southwest-inspired chicken and rice dish is comfort food at its finest. The trick to instantly infusing its simple base with spicy, smoky deliciousness is simmering everything in an aromatic blend of chicken broth, Pace® Medium Picante Sauce, and Pace® Classic Taco Signature Sauce. Let those flavors meld for 20 minutes on the stove and you’re left with fluffy rice, tender, perfectly-seasoned chicken, and just one skillet to clean after you’ve enjoyed your new favorite weeknight meal.
Step 1
Toss chicken and taco seasoning in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium; add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving drippings in skillet.
Step 2
Add onion to skillet and cook over medium, stirring often to loosen browned bits, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring constantly, until rice is toasted and coated in seasoning, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, Pace® Medium Picante Sauce, and Pace® Classic Taco Signature Sauce until smooth. Stir in black beans and corn, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Stir in chicken and cook over low, covered, until liquid is mostly absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Uncover and serve with cilantro and sour cream.
