DCB Chicken Fajitas: Add Oil for Extra Flavor?

In summary, The DCB Chicken Fajitas recipe involves slicing onions and peppers with a mandoline and forged cutlery respectively, then adding a rub of choice (e.g. Southwestern or Chipolte) to the bottom layer followed by chicken strips. Then another layer of rub is added. The recipe can also involve pressing garlic over the peppers and squeezing half a lime over the chicken before adding spice. Olive oil can be omitted as it is not necessary. It is advised

I'm not sure if this has been posted or suggested yet but my director just gave me this idea to help with the liquid in the bottom of the baker.

She puts instant rice in the bottom of the baker (not a lot, just enough to cover the bottom), then puts the onions, peppers, rub, chicken & rub again. Micro'd like normal & it was great.

What a great idea!

The rice idea -- BRILLIANT!

I did these for a show last week with a group of women that did not know me. (Odd, I know.) Anyway, they were AMAZED that the chicken turned out moist and tasty. As one said to me after she tried them: "I didn't really want to try them because I thought they would be dry and tough like microwave chicken usually turns out." I sold 2 DCBs immediately and more are thinking about it.

I've made this 2 or 3 times, and every time it's watery and kinda bland. Besides Crystal's (brilliant) suggestion of rice at the bottom (wouldn't want to do that at a show)...any suggestions on what I can do? Am I doing something wrong? (re: watery)
