Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce
Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick and cut them into thirds crosswise.
In a large, deep nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the onion and peppers, stirring often, until onions become translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and cumin and stir for an additional minute. Add the chipotle chile to the sauce and then the rice. Cook, stirring, until the rice begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan, add the broth, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is nearly cooked, about 20 minutes.
Remove the cover, add the corn and beans to the pan, and cook for an additional 10 minutes until heated through.
