Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Napa Valley olive oil recommended
  • 1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning 1 oz
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice or brown rice chicken bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
