  • Chicken 165° F |

  • If using ground turkey, break up into smaller pieces. Bake in hot oven until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 17-20 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Pat chicken dry.

    In one provided tray, combine chicken and 2 tsp. olive oil. Spread into an even layer.

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Remove rice from packaging.

    In second provided tray, combine rice, 1/4 cup water, half the chicken base (reserve remaining for chicken), half the enchilada sauce (reserve remaining for chicken), and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cover tray with foil.

  2. 2

    Add the Cheese and Beans

    Bake rice covered in hot oven until heated through, 20-25 minutes.

    Bake chicken uncovered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    While meal bakes, drain beans.

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove chicken tray from oven. Keep rice in oven.

    Drain excess liquid and break up chicken into smaller pieces. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Stir beans, corn, remaining enchilada sauce, remaining chicken base, fajita seasoning, and 1/4 tsp. salt into chicken tray until combined. Top evenly with cheese.

  3. 3

    Bake Meal and Make Crema

    Bake chicken again uncovered in hot oven until cheese is melted and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-15 minutes.

    While meal bakes, in a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
