Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside a 9x13" oven-safe casserole dish and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
- In a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil and once heated, add the onions. Cook until tender.
- Pour in the box of rice and vermicelli, including the seasoning packet.
- Stir for two minutes then pour in the chicken broth and water.
- Bring to a boil then bring down to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes.
- After the rice mixture has cooked for 20 minutes (note: not all the liquid will have cooked away, it finishes in the oven), add in the chicken. It's okay it doesn't cook all the way through as it finishes up in the oven.
- Remove from heat and add diced tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir together.
- CAREFULLY pour mixture into prepared casserole dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes, covered, then uncover the casserole and sprinkle cheese on top and let it melt.
- After removing from oven, let sit for 10-15 minutes. The waiting time is crucial because the liquid will continue to absorb into the rice and the casserole will have a thicker consistency.

Steps:
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet or braiser, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh pieces and sprinkle the Tex Mex seasoning over the chicken. Stir and cook for 5 until the chicken is browned.
- Cook onion and peppers: To the skillet, add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Cook the rice: Next, add the tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, chicken broth and rice. Stir everything and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The rice is done when all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat.
- Finish the rice: Add 1 cup of the cheese and gently stir. Top with remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese, cover and let it sit for about 3 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
