First, I coated the bottom of the pan with some EVOO and got it nice and hot. Then I had the onion and sprinkled some paprika and red pepper flakes in with it. Let it cook while I started the brown rice and cut up the chicken into pieces. Then I added the chicken to the onions and added more paprika, more red pepper flakes and a dab of hot sauce. I should also mention I had marinated the chicken in a dry rub that my hub has made that has paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, a little garlic powder, some salt, chilli powder, and chipotle seasoning in it.

Then I greased up the pan and got it ready. I put a layer of rice down and a layer of the chicken mixture. Then I put a cup of the cheese on top. Another layer of rice, chicken mixture and the other cup of cheese on top. Then I put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Before it went in the oven...
