Mexican Chicken And Shrimp Rice Bowl Food

MEXICAN CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan, over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they soften slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high, add the cubed chicken. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, pepper garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
• Add the rice, remaining salt, and cook with the chicken to lightly toast the rice. Pour the chicken broth, tomato sauce, and green chilies. Stir to combine.
• Bring mixture to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan, and cook the rice untouched until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
• Top with fresh cilantro, if desired

MEXICAN RICE BOWL WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until well browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add onion and garlic to skillet, and saute for approximately 5 minutes or until soft. Add in red and green peppers, continue to saute on medium-low heat until peppers are soft, about 7 minutes.
• Once softened, add all remaining ingredients (except rice and cheese), as well as the cooked chicken. Stir until all ingredients are mixed well and heated through; adjust salt and pepper.
• Serve over rice with shredded cheese and sour cream. Even heartier with a side of tortilla chips or warmed tortillas.

MEXICAN RICE WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Heat saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and rice and cook until rice gets golden, stirring frequently so it doesn't burn. Add onions, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened.
• 2. Add tomato paste, hot sauce and chicken stock. Cook covered for 13 minutes, without stirring. Once most of the liquid has been absorbed then stir and add shrimp on top of the rice and cover again. Cook until shrimp on top of rice turns pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Don't overcook or the shrimp gets rubbery. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Serve as a side dish or as a main dish, adding more shrimp if used for this. Also good with a wedge of lime squeezed over the top.
• 3. This keeps well in the fridge. Just reheat in a bowl in the microwave. Enjoy!

ASIAN SHRIMP RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, chili paste, and orange marmalade together in a small bowl. Stir shrimp into the marinade; refrigerate for one hour.
• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Cook the orange pepper, red pepper, sugar snap peas, and onion in hot oil until they just begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the marinated shrimp, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil into the vegetables; continue to cook until shrimp is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Serve over hot jasmine rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
