Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red capsicum, coarsely chopped
  • 300g (1 1/2 cups) long grain rice
  • 30g sachet taco seasoning
  • 1 barbecue chicken, skin and bones discarded, meat chopped
  • 750ml (3 cups) Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 375g jar mild thick and chunky salsa
  • 300g (3 cups) pre-grated pizza cheese
  • 200g (3/4 cup) Light Sour Cream, stirred
  • 250g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 avocado, coarsely chopped
  • 2 green shallots, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 210C (190C fan forced) and generously grease an 8-cup baking dish.
  • In a large frying pan over high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and capsicum and cook for 4-5 minutes until onions have softened. Mix in the rice and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, stir well, and then take off the heat.
  • Combine chicken, stock, salsa, and 200g (2 cups) of cheese. Transfer the mixture into the baking dish. Add dollops of sour cream. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and most of the liquid is absorbed. Uncover for the last 5 minutes of baking. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh tomatoes, creamy avocado, and fragrant shallot before serving.
