Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 9x13 ceramic baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Bell Peppers Sliced ( 2 Red, 1 Green)
  • 1 Large Purple Onion Sliced
  • 1 Cup Dry White Rice Rinsed and Drained
  • 2 Cups Chicken Bone Broth
  • 1 Packet Lemon Pepper Fajita Seasoning Siete Brand
  • 1.5 Pounds (4 Cuts) Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded

Garnish with:

  • Cilantro
  • Lime
  • Low Fat Plain Greek Yogurt/Light Sour Cream

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 375 F and set your rack to the middle position.
  • Slice your bell peppers and onions.
  • Place white rice into a 9x13 casserole dish. Add your chicken bone broth over the rice. Next, add in your chicken breasts into an even layer on top. Using about half of your lemon pepper fajita seasoning, evenly season your chicken breasts. Then add in your sliced bell peppers and onions evenly on top of your seasoned chicken and then use the remaining packet and season your vegetables evenly on top.
  • Cover your casserole dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes or until your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F, your vegetables are soft and your rice is cooked through.
  • Remove your casserole dish from the oven. Be careful not to burn yourself. Top with freshly grated cheddar cheese and then broil for 1-2 minutes until your cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  • Serve and then garnish with cilantro, lime and low fat greek yogurt or light sour cream.
