Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add rice and cook until golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer toasted rice to a bowl.

  3. Add remaining oil, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Return toasted rice to the Dutch oven. Stir in broth, wine, water, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until 1/2 the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

  5. Stir onion mixture, chicken, and tomatoes into the Dutch oven and cover with a lid.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes.

  7. Stir in cilantro just before serving.

Recipe Note

Before I made this chicken breast recipe I had never cooked with cilantro. This is a great way to start. Now I am not afraid of sprinkling it into tacos, or any Mexican type of dish. This is also great to have for leftovers.
