How to Make Tex Mex Chicken N Rice
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cumin. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno (if using); cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, lime juice, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
- Add rice to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Place chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is cooked and no longer pink inside.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite Tex-Mex toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce, and warm tortillas.
