Ingredients

2 cups uncooked brown rice
6 thin chicken breasts (like Purdue brand)
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper
1 orange pepper
1 white onion
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

1

In a small dish, combine all the spices - this is going to be the rub. My goal was to make everything separately, then let my family build their own bowls. So the fist thing I did was put the rub on all of the chicken. I cooked that in a skillet a few at a time for about 3-4 minutes per side and then I kept the cooked ones in the oven to keep warm.
2

Meanwhile, I cooked the brown rice (I added 2 tsp. of dry chicken stock to the rice and water).
3

Once all the chicken was cooked and removed from the pan, I used the same skillet to add the peppers and onions. It picked up the bits of cooked chicken from the pan and I added another teaspoon of the spice rub to the veggies

So, for my bowl, I put the brown rice on the bottom, added the peppers and onions, the chicken, and sprinkled a little cheddar cheese on top. It turned out to be a big hit! I'll definitely add this to my rotation of quick weeknight meals!
