Chili Rice with Chicken

No pictures. Worst meal I have ever cooked! I don't know if the tomatoes were rancid or maybe the chicken, but it was horrible. I ate a few bites and then threw out the rest. I strongly do not recommend cooking this, or maybe it was just a bad batch.

Grade: F


Ingredients:
1 Tbs olive oil
12 oz boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 2-inch long by ¼ inch wide strips
½ green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
½ red bell pepper, coarsely chopped (I used 1 green instead of ½ red)
½ cup minced onion
1 tsp minced jalapeno pepper (I omitted this)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp minced fresh oregano (or ½ tsp dried oregano)
½ tsp ground cumin
3 cups cooked rice (long-grain white or brown)
1 (14oz) can diced tomatoes, with juice
½ tsp pepper

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until it is no longer pink on the outside. Stir in the bell peppers, onion, jalapeƱo pepper, garlic, chili powder, dried oregano (if using), and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the rice, tomatoes with juice, fresh oregano (if using), and pepper. Heat through, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
