Welcome back to Hope's Homemade Kitchen. Today we're doing fajita chicken bowls.

Show ingredients: chicken strips, marinated in fajita seasoning, onions, bell peppers, cilantro lime rice ingredients, and pinto beans made in the Instant Pot.

Chop cilantro leaves, about half a cup, and add to a bowl with lime zest and lime juice from 3 limes.

Add about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt to the cilantro mixture.

In a very large pot, add 4 cups of dry jasmine rice and 6 cups of chicken broth (using 2 cans of 14.5 oz each and half a can of water).

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the rice mixture.

Bring the rice to a boil, then cover and cook on low for 15 minutes.

In a non-stick pan, heat canola oil over medium-high heat and add marinated chicken strips.

Cook chicken until browned, checking temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F.

Once chicken is cooked, set aside and add onions and bell peppers to the pan, cooking until desired tenderness.

Check rice after 15 minutes, mix in the cilantro, lime juice, and zest mixture, and taste for salt adjustment.

Assemble bowls with 5 oz of chicken, cilantro lime rice, sautéed vegetables, and half a cup of pinto beans.
