Ingredients

Scale

2 cups frozen pepper and onion blend or frozen seasoning blend

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups cubed, cooked chicken

1 can (14.5 ounces) of diced tomatoes

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 3/4 cup chicken stock

3/4 cup uncooked white rice

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Sauté the peppers and onion in oil in a large saucepan until soft, about 5 minutes.
