Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) instant long grain white rice, uncooked
  • 1 cup (250 mL) frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) thick and chunky salsa
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) plus 1 tsp (5 mL) Everything Taco Seasoning, divided
  • 4   boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4-6 oz/125-175 g each)
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  •  Optional toppings: Guacamole, salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes

Directions

  1. Set the Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven to Convection Bake, adjusting the temp to 375°F (190°C) and set the time for 35 minutes.
  2. Place rice, corn, stock, salsa and 1 tsp (5 mL) of the rub in the Small Oven Baking Pan; stir to combine.
  3. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) rub. Place chicken on top of rice mixture. Cover the pan with foil.
  4. When the display says, “Add Food,” place the pan in the oven. Press start. Remove the foil and stir halfway through cooking. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), adding more time, if needed.
  5. Remove pan from the oven and top evenly with the cheese. Let stand 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with toppers, if you’d like.
