Here's a one-pot meal that combines a zesty tomato rice and boneless, skinless chicken for an easy Tex-Mex meal your family will love! Plus, it's gluten free!Ingredients | Scavenger Hunt Ideas For Adults2 tablespoons olive oil4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning¼ teaspoon smoked paprikaGround black pepper, to taste2 ¼ teaspoons chili powder, divided1 cup chopped onion1 cup uncooked long grain white rice1 (14.5 ounce) can Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes, drained1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn2 cloves garlic, minced1 (14 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced½ fresh tomato, sliced4 slices Pepper Jack cheese1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives (Optional)DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Mix together adobo seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder. Season 1 side chicken breasts with the mixture.Place olive oil in a large saucepan over medium; heat until the oil shimmers. Place chicken pieces in hot oil, seasoned side down. Brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.Add chopped onion to pot and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice, Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes (drained), corn, garlic, and remaining 2 teaspoons of chili powder, stirring to combine.When ingredients are well combined, add chicken broth, and stir.Place browned chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture, with browned side up, being careful not to submerge chicken.Cover and bake 15 minutes, then remove lid and continue baking about 5 minutes more.When chicken internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), place a slice of tomato and slices of avocado on top of each piece, and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.Plate cooked chicken, then fluff rice with a fork, and serve alongside chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro and snipped chives, if desired.Though this recipe has only 4 chicken pieces, it would easily serve 6 if chicken pieces are sliced. This is not what I would consider a spicy dish, so you may want to add additional heat, if desired.Info | Scavenger Hunt Ideas For Adultsprep:
