Ingredients:

1 tbs. olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1 large bell pepper, diced

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes

1 15oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup frozen corn kernels

1 20oz. jar chunky salsa

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 cups rice, prepared

1-1/2 cup of white rice

1 small lime

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 t. salt

optional accompaniments: fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado, lime wedges

Directions:

1. Heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers and cook until tender (about 3-4 minutes). Add chicken breast cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until no visible pink remains on the outside (about 6-7 minutes).

2. Add in beans, corn, salsa, and water and bring to a simmer.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (about 15 minutes) - for a thicker sauce remove lid for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

4. Serve over rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado, etc.

5. Cilantro Lime Rice: prepare rice according to instructions on the package. When the rice is finished add the juice from one lime, salt, and cilantro to the rice. Stir and place back over low heat, uncovered for 1 minute.

Bon Appetit!
