  • Add the chicken with 1 tbsp of oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat, add all seasonings, and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the Rotel (not drained), tomato sauce, minced garlic, chicken broth, and uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir well, cover with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked (I stirred it once about half way through).
