Yöntemler

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Add uncooked rice to a dry saucepan over medium; cook, stirring constantly, until rice is fragrant and no longer translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to an ungreased 13- x 9-inch baking dish and stir in cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice; mix until combined.

Place chicken, bell peppers, onion, fajita seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss until chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.

Transfer to baking dish and place in an even layer over rice mixture. Pour in chicken broth and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, about 45 to 50 minutes.

Remove from oven, uncover, and top with desired toppings. Serve with lime wedges.
