A delightful one-pan meal combining chicken, rice, and vibrant Southwestern flavors.
Combine the flour and seasoning salt in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat the chicken evenly.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated for a consistent crust when browning.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook until browned on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Add the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, diced bell pepper, sliced olives, rice, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Use chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check the rice occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the skillet. Cover and let it melt for 2-3 minutes.
Use a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Pair with a fresh salad or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
