I love anything Mexican-esque, and this sounds amazing!!
I love how packed with veggies this recipe is! It looks so good! Since I’m vegan, I’ll just sub vegan ingredients for the non-vegan ones, but I’m going to try this out asap. 😀
How many servings will this make, and what size serving?
Hey Taralynn! I think on one of your previous posts you asked about post ideas. I’d be interested in seeing some easy/healthy to-go lunches. I’m in college so when I spend all day in classes, microwaves and bulky/giant Tupperware isn’t always an option or a convenience. My go-to lunch is a PBJ/peanut butter banana/egg salad sandwich. Any other easy ideas that are also healthy? 🙂
Do you add the chicken broth when you combine the rice, veggies and seasoning?
I have the same question.
This looks really good, thanks for sharing this.

This might be a silly question (I’m new-ish to cooking anything), when you add the chicken to the veggies and “continue to cook” do you wait until the chicken is fully cooked before adding it to the large pot with everything else?
Looks tasty! (:
Yup! That is correct!
May be a silly question, but does ‘prepared rice’ mean cooked rice??
Thank you!!

When do you add/use the chicken broth?
Any possibility this recipe could be done in the crockpot?
I want to try this but i am allergic to rice. Do you think i could make this with cauliflower?
Yes! That would be such a fun recipe! I’d love to hear how it turned out!
