Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 14-1/2-ounce can beef broth (not condensed)
1 cup extra-mild thick and chunky bottled salsa
1 cup water
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
4 cups cooked Spanish-seasoned yellow rice, no salt or oil added during cooking

Preparation

Place 1 tbsp of the oil in a dutch oven (preferably cast iron) and heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic and cook for 8 minutes or until onion is just beginning to brown. Add chicken and cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until no longer pink. Add chicken broth, salsa, water, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and remaining tbsp of olive oil, and let stand, uncovered, for 20 minutes before serving. Reheat over low heat. Stir in rice and top with chopped cilantro.
