Ingredients
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced or 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped bell pepper
3 cups (28-oz can) diced or crushed tomatoes, including juice
1/2 cup corn or other vegetables (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained and rinsed)
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a large skillet, saute onion in oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
- Add garlic, jalapeno pepper and bell pepper and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining vegetables, cumin, chili powder and salt. Simmer until heated through and vegetables are cooked.
- Add cooked rice (or serve over rice) and sprinkle cilantro over the top before serving.

This is a new go-to recipe for our house because it is simple and flexible depending what vegetables or protein we have on hand. We have made with boneless pork loin and ground turkey.
