# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 cup extra-long grain white rice, uncooked
05 - 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
06 - 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 2 teaspoons chili powder
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
11 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 - 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

→ Finishing & Garnishes

13 - 1 cup Colby Jack, Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, grated
14 - Kosher salt, to taste
15 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
16 - Fresh tomatoes, diced
17 - Green onions, diced
18 - Sour cream
19 - Guacamole

# Instructions:

01 - Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add diced yellow onion and cook until softened, approximately 2 minutes.
02 - Toss chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add chicken to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
03 - Push chicken to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the empty side, then stir in uncooked rice. Sauté rice for 2 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden.
04 - Add black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Mix thoroughly and bring to a gentle simmer.
05 - Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed.
06 - Uncover, taste, and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Gently stir to combine.
07 - Evenly sprinkle grated cheese over the top. Cover and let rest off the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
08 - Top with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, and guacamole before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, ensure chicken pieces are of uniform size for even cooking.
