Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 15 oz can corn, drained
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 1/4 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice I used basmati
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken stock or water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or jack cheese
  • avocado, tomato, sour cream, cilantro (for topping)

Equipment

  • large skillet or large pot with lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Add the cubed chicken and diced onion and sauté 2–3 minutes, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and onions are lightly browned.
  3. Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced green chiles, chunky salsa, rice, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock or water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with shredded cheese; let sit 2 minutes to melt.
  7. Serve bowls topped with sliced avocado, diced tomato, sour cream, and cilantro as desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken stock for more flavor or water to keep it simple.
  • Rinse canned beans to reduce sodium.
  • Adjust taco seasoning to taste for spice level.
  • Let the skillet rest briefly so cheese melts evenly.
