- The chicken can be either boiled or microwaved. Break the cooked and boned
- chicken into bite sized pieces. Reserve about one cup of the stock.
- Saute the onion and pepper in oil until the onion is transluscent. Add the
- stewed tomatoes and stir. Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and
- oregano and blend thoroughly. When this has started to boil, add the
- reserved stock (you may substitute one cup of chicken bouilon). Simmer for
- about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare rice according to package directions ( 1 1/2 cups, uncooked).
- Add the corn starch to a little water and blend. Add to the tomato
- mixture and blend well, stirring as it thickens. Add about one half of the
- chicken and the cilantro while stirring. When this mixture has thickened,
- place the rice in a large greased baking dish (9 1/2 x 9 1/2 x 2),
- spreading it over the bottom. Place the reserved chicken over this and
- pour the chicken tomato mixture over all. Cover. Thoroughly heat in a
- microwave oven on high for 6-8 minutes or in a preheated oven (350 F.) for
- 12-15 minutes.
