Preheat oven to 350° F.
Prep the vegetables and chicken: Slice the peppers and onion. (or dice, if you like that better) If using chicken breasts, slice into strips or cut horizontally to ensure the chicken cooks evenly with the rice.
To a 9x13 baking dish add the rice and broth and mix together. Make sure the rice is completely submerged in the broth or it will not cook evenly.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, sliced chicken, onion, peppers and fajita seasoning. Stir everything together until well coated in the seasoning. Feel free to add your own additional seasoning, if you'd like.
Place the chicken and vegetables on top of the rice- do not mix.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Uncover, top with shredded cheddar cheese and put back in the oven 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, avocado, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, and sour cream.
