• Prep: 15 min
  • Cook: 45 min
  • Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts (about 4), finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon cheek (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (Melissa likes Garden of Eatin')
  • 2 cups broth (vegetable and chicken both work!)
  • ⅓ cup white rice
  • 1 clamshell Bowery Baby Butter
  • Sour cream (optional, as garnish)
  • Chives (optional, as garnish)
Preparation
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the onions and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic.
  3. While the veggies cook, finely chop the chicken so it’s almost the texture of ground chicken (you can also use ground chicken if you prefer).
  4. Squeeze a lemon cheek over it and add the chicken to the pan.
  5. Stir in the taco seasoning.
  6. Add the broth and rice to the pan and increase the heat to medium high. Stir everything together so it's well combined.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and cover. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the rice is fully cooked. Keep warm until you’re ready to serve.
  8. Spoon the fajita/rice combo into Bowery Baby Butter leaves to serve and garnish with sour cream and chives.
