Instructions

Cook Rice
1

Place chicken stock concentrate, ½ tsp turmeric (use the rest as you like), and 1 cup water in a small, lidded pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then stir in rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Keep covered off heat.

Prep
2

While rice cooks, wash and dry all produce. Halve, core, and deseed green pepper, then thinly slice. Dice tomato. Trim, then thinly slice scallions. Zest 1 tsp zest from lime, then cut into wedges.

Cook Pepper
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper; season with half the Southwest spice, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes.

Cook Chicken
4

Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season with remaining Southwest Spice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and another large drizzle of oil to pan with green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and pepper is caramelized, 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Remove from heat.

Make Salsa and Crema
5

While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomato, scallions, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper and divide between bowls. Top with chicken and green pepper. Spoon salsa over and dollop with crema. Drizzle with hot sauce (to taste). Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
