This recipe is sponsored by Rice-A-Roni. All you need to make this hearty weeknight dish is a handful of ingredients and one pot! Even better — all the components, including perfectly seasoned chicken, Mexican-style rice and chopped zucchini and bell peppers, get cooked together at the exact same time, so you can still help out with homework, catch up on laundry or take a few moments of “me time” before heading to the dinner table.

Ingredients
Directions
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the chili powder and several grinds of pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes and zucchini and cook until the garlic is tender and fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in the broth, reserved chicken and the rice and seasoning packet from the box. Bring to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender, the chicken is cooked through and the liquid is almost completely absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let sit for 3 minutes to steam. Top with scallions and cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
