Ingredients

6 servings

•

2 tablespoons ground cumin
•

2 teaspoons garlic salt
•

2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
•

2 teaspoons paprika
•

2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
•

1 (15 ounce) can black beans

•

1 (8 ounce) can whole kernel corn
•

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into cubes
•

1 tablespoon olive oil
•

1 small red onion, diced
•

1 cup uncooked instant rice
•

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Combine cumin, salt, dried chipotle pepper, and paprika in a large, resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to mix. Measure 2 teaspoons of the seasoning into a large bowl; add diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, black beans, and corn to the bowl and stir.
Put chicken in the bag with the remaining seasoning; shake to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Turn seasoned chicken out into the skillet, add red onion, and saute in the hot oil until the chicken is browned, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-high. Stir tomato mixture with the chicken; bring to a boil, add rice, and stir.
Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture. Place a cover on the skillet and simmer until the rice is tender and the chicken no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
