Chicken con Queso
Mexican chicken con queso with rice, basically the recipe for hamburger helper crunchy taco, that you can make in one pot on the stovetop.
Equipment
- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ⅛ cup diced white onion
- 1 pound ground chicken breast
- 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 1 cup extra long grain rice dry
- ½ cup salsa con queso
Taco Seasonings
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium high heat, I like to use one with tall sides as we will be adding broth and doing some mixing. Grease with cooking spray then add in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté those for about 2 minutes, until slightly soft and fragrant.
- Then add in the ground chicken and let it brown for about two minutes per side. After the chicken is browned on both sides, start breaking it up. Sprinkle on the taco seasonings and continue to break up the chicken, mixing until it is completely cooked.
- Pour in the broth and the rice, pressing down the rice to fully cover it in the broth. Reduce the heat to low/low-medium. Bring the mixture to a slight simmer then cover the pot. Simmer until the rice is fully cooked and all the liquid is gone, about 15 minutes.
- Then, fluff up the rice and add in the salsa con queso, mixing to combine. Divide into four equal bowls (about ¾ cup each) and add in your favorite taco toppings.
