How to Make Fiesta Chicken With Chili

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a non-metal bowl (ceramic, glass, or plastic), combine: 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well.
  3. Cut 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally (optional).
  4. Lightly spray a non-stick baking dish with olive oil.
  5. Place chicken breasts in the prepared dish.
  6. Spoon half of the vegetable mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring the edges of the chicken are slightly visible. Mix the vegetables before each spoonful to prevent oil separation.
  7. Pour any remaining tomato juice from the vegetable mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
  8. Avoid getting tomato on the sides of the baking pan for easier cleanup.
  9. Cover the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  10. While the chicken is baking, prepare the chili: In a saucepan, combine the remaining vegetable mixture, 1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian ground beef, 1/2 cup tomato juice, and 1/4 cup water.
  11. Simmer the chili on low heat for 10 minutes before the chicken is finished baking.
  12. Serve the baked chicken topped with the chili. Optional: Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, or sour cream (if not following a strict low-carb diet).
