Fajita Chicken and Rice Bake With Nacho Topping image

I was trying to find a healthy, flavourful meal and this hit the spot. The topping is not quite so healthy but the crushed nachos give the meal a well-balanced flavour.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup long-grain rice
2 cups water
2 large chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon oil (or cooking spray for a healthier option)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet fajita seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup corn
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups mild salsa
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
2 ounces nacho chips (should produce 1/2 cup crumbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Start boiling the rice in 2 cups of water, covered. This should take 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the 1/2 cup water and fajita seasoning.
  • Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, corn and garlic.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken and vegetables are cooked and the liquid has mostly reduced.
  • Add the salsa to the chicken mixture in the pan and stir.
  • When the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid, add the rice to the chicken salsa mixture and stir. Pour into a 10x6 or equivalent baking tray.
  • Top with 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Crush the nachos into crumbs and scatter evenly over the cheese.
  • Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until bubbling.
  • Serve and enjoy!
