This is such a yummy meal and a different turn on taco night. I don't have a pic, but you'll get the idea, I think. You can prepare this so many ways and eat it so many ways- it really is very versatile. For example, tonight I made it with black beans instead of corn but you could easily sub the black beans for chicken. I also only use regular brown rice and cook it almost all of the way and then add it in. So yummy.
Chicken Taco Rice
adapted from Blogging: It's what's for Dinner
1 lb. chicken (about 2 chicken breasts)
2 Tb. oil
1 can chicken broth
1- 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 pkg. mild taco seasoning
1- 12 oz. can drained corn
1 med. red pepper sliced in strips
1 1/2 cup minute rice (or mostly cooked regular rice)
1 cup shredded cheese
1 bag tortilla chips
some sour cream
Some guacamole
Cut chicken in to bite size pieces and saute in oil in a big skillet (big enough to hold all of these
ingredients). When chicken is done, add broth, tomato sauce, and seasoning. Bring
to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, simmer for 5 minutes. Add drained corn
and sliced pepper. Bring to a full boil. Stir in uncooked rice. Cover
and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Sprinkle with cheese. Cover again and let stand for just a little while.
Serve with chips, sour cream and guacamole. This is even better hours
after you make it so you can make it one night have it the next day or
make it in the morning and have it that night.
