This rice and chicken casserole is very easy to pull together and has a lot of flavor. Don't skip toasting the rice - it is an incredibly easy way to add just a hint of nuttiness and more depth of flavor. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, or whatever topping you prefer.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups long-grain white rice: 1 piece
  • fresh cilantro leaves: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • limes, zested and: 2 piece (juiced)
  • ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 1 piece (cut into 1/2 inch slices)
  • bell peppers: 2 piece (sliced)

  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp
