Jumpin’ Jack Chicken Bowls with Rice, Sour Cream & Lime

Step 1

• Wash and dry all produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime. • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with Southwest Spice, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in scallion whites; cook for 30 seconds. • Stir in ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings), Tex-Mex paste, tomato paste, and juice from half the lime until thoroughly combined. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

• While chicken cooks, partially open rice package; microwave according to package instructions, 90 seconds.

Step 4

• Stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan with chicken mixture until melted. Sprinkle with pepper jack, then cover pan until cheese melts, 1 minute. • Massage rice in package, then divide between bowls. Spoon cheesy chicken on top. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
