Made this tonight and family LOVED it! Very flavorful! Used green, red, orange and yellow bell peppers along with sweet onion chopped finely with chicken thighs. Will absolutely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation! Thank you so very much for sharing!!

This is one of our favourite dishes and we have it on a regular rotation. I use chicken breast cut into large pieces as per my family’s preference and just add them after about 20 minutes. I also add extra tomato sauce or fresh tomatoes instead of paste. It’s a great recipe all around.

Hi, I haven’t done it myself so I don’t know the ration for rice/water you’ll need.
I also have a recipe for authentic Mexican red rice, if you want to check it out: https://maricruzavaloskitchen.com/easy-and-authentic-red-mexican-rice/

Since I discovered this recipe, I’ve always done it! This baked mexican chicken over rice is so good! It’s very flavorful and not too spicy. It’s not time consuming to make this as well so it’s perfect for me who meal preps everything!
