Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dill, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Sauté, stirring often, for 3 minutes, until the chicken begins to brown on the outside.
  2. Stir in the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, black beans, tomatoes, rice, and chicken stock.
  3. Bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is done and the rice is nearly tender.
  4. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Sprinkle with cheese and any additional desired toppings. Serve warm.
