Ingredients

1 tbsp
oil
1 lb
ground chicken
1
yellow onion, diced
1 tbsp
chili powder
1 tsp
garlic powder
1 tsp
dried oregano
1
chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 cup
chicken broth
2 tbsp
tomato paste
2 cups
corn kernels
1
red bell pepper, diced
1/4
red onion, finely diced
1/2
jalapeño pepper, deseeded and finely diced
2 tbsp
chopped fresh cilantro
1
lime, juice
2 cups
cooked brown rice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, breaking it up with the side of a spoon until it is no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chipotle pepper. Cook, stirring, until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and tomato paste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the heat and set it aside.

In a large bowl, add the corn, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until everything is well combined.

Serve immediately with the chicken and rice. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
