In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes until brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Wipe out any excess oil from the pan. Add the remaining oil into the pan, and sauté peppers until just tender. Remove and set aside.

Combine the cooked rice, chicken, bell peppers, beans and 2½ cups of cheddar cheese in the skillet. Top with the remaining cheddar, and cover with foil.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
