Busy Night Mexi Chicken

I am calling thus Busy Night Mexi Chicken because it only takes 15 minutes to prepare and cooks for half an hour in the oven (thus is when you shower after your workout, do kids homework, or mop the floor). Here is what you need:

1 lb. Boneless skinless chicken breast
Half a large onion, sliced
Half a green pepper, sliced
Half a red pepper, sliced
One 16 oz. undrained can organic diced tomatoes, no salt added
Half cup chicken broth, low sodium
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, adjust for desired heat

Place chicken, peppers, onion, tomatoes in casserole dish. Pour chicken broth over everything. Sprinkle spices over all ingredients and carefully mix. Cover and place in preheated oven at 350°. Cook for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove cover and cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes. Serve over prepared brown rice.
Enjoy!
