Next, add the remaining tablespoon of spread to the same skillet. Toss in the green peppers, onion, and chili powder, cooking them for around 5 minutes until the veggies are just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Pour in the water and the Cheddar Broccoli rice mix, then bring everything to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 7 minutes, or until the rice is soft.

Finally, stir the chicken back into the skillet and let it warm through. Serve it up with warm flour tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, and some chopped fresh cilantro if you like.

Cook's tip
- Use a hot pan to get a nice sear on the chicken for extra flavor.
- Don’t skip sautéing the peppers and onions; they add sweetness and texture.
- Stir the rice occasionally to prevent it from sticking or burning on the bottom.
