Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix together adobo seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder. Season 1 side chicken breasts with the mixture.
- Place olive oil in a large saucepan over medium; heat until the oil shimmers. Place chicken pieces in hot oil, seasoned side down. Brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add chopped onion to pot and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add rice, Hunt's(R) Diced Tomatoes (drained), corn, garlic, and remaining 2 teaspoons of chili powder, stirring to combine.
- When ingredients are well combined, add chicken broth, and stir.
- Place browned chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture, with browned side up, being careful not to submerge chicken.
- Cover and bake 15 minutes, then remove lid and continue baking about 5 minutes more.
- When chicken internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), place a slice of tomato and slices of avocado on top of each piece, and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.
- Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.
- Plate cooked chicken, then fluff rice with a fork, and serve alongside chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro and snipped chives, if desired.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Though this recipe has only 4 chicken pieces, it would easily serve 6 if chicken pieces are sliced. This is not what I would consider a spicy dish, so you may want to add additional heat, if desired.

This was very good! Made it to the recipe but I made this in a skillet. The tomatoes really added a lot of flavor to this dish. Next time I'm keeping the juices as well so the rice can soak it...

Delicious! For taste preference, I added some seasoning salt to the rice mixture before it went into the oven.

I made this today. I absolutely loved the chicken part and the seasonings on it and toppings. I followed the ingredients, but just cooked the chicken in a pan and then broiled it for a couple of...
