It was REALLY REALLY good.

AND

REALLY REALLY easy.

Like you throw everything into the skillet and it cooks in 15 minutes.

From start to finish 15 minutes--crazy!

I'm having it for lunch today :)

Southwestern Chicken and Rice
Serves 6, Prep/Cook time: 15 min.

4 chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 C salsa
1 packet of taco seasoning
2 C water
2 C Minute rice, uncooked
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained
1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
1 C shredded cheese
1/2 onion, chopped
Sour cream for topping

Find the largest skillet you have--preferably one with high sides. Add the salsa, water, onion, taco seasoning, and chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 min. Add the corn, black beans, and rice. Stir to mix it all together. Top with cheese. Cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Serve and top with sour cream and whatever else you like!

  2. Don't fret Nancy!! If you eat "a serving size" which is 1/6th of the recipe and you add 2 Tbsp of light sour cream, 9 points total! If you don't want sour cream, it's 8 points....but trust me, you want the sour cream!!
