Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup salsa verde
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 12-ounce bag small broccoli florets (about 4 cups)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
3 cups frozen cooked brown rice, heated as directed
1 1/4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Whisk the salsa, sour cream and 3/4 cup water in a bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, scallion whites and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the cumin and stir until toasted, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the chicken, rice, salsa mixture and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until heated through and saucy, 1 to 3 minutes. Fold in half of the cheese; top with the rest. Broil until the cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with the scallion greens.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 white onion, diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
Two 8.8-ounce bags microwaveable white rice
1 1/2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, for serving
