Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless (3 to 4 large breasts)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided (or oil, for frying)
  • 4 1/2 ounces chopped orange bell pepper
  • 4 1/2 ounces chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 1/2 ounces chopped red onion
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice frozen or fresh
  • 8 tablespoons store-bought queso not melted
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Cilantro optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, combine the salt and spices. Season the chicken with half of the seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat half of the butter (or oil). Once hot, add half of the chicken. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until browned. They do not have to be cooked through as they will finish cooking in the oven. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Add the peppers, onions, and cauliflower rice to the bowl with the chicken. Season with the remaining spices and toss to coat.
  • Add half of the mixture to a medium sized casserole dish. Add half of the queso to the top of the mixture. Repeat once more with remaining mixture and queso.
  • Top the casserole with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
