2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1½ pounds chicken thighs (boneless skinless cut into bite sized pieces)
2 tablespoons Tex Mex seasoning
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
1 large onion (chopped)
2 medium bell peppers (red and green, chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
15 ounce fire roasted tomatoes ((1 can diced))
15 ounce black beans (drained and rinsed)
8 ounces corn (canned or frozen, drained if canned)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2½ cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
1 cup long grain rice (such as Jasmine or Basmati)
1½ cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 lime (cut in wedges for serving)
