I have yet another recipe for everyone adapted from Cooking Light. I have had a lot of success with their recipes and I've been using them (along with circulars and coupons!) to get the best nutritional bang for our $$$. I already had a bag of dried beans so I soaked them over night and cooked them for an hour for this recipe.
1 package yellow rice mix (I used Zatarans)
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups cubed cooked chicken (We grilled a chicken breast on the George Forman and it made about 1.5 cups)
1 can of black beans, drained
1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained (I used Rotel)
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (I didn't have this available so I used Mozzerella)
PAM spray
Preheat oven to 350*F. Prepare rice to package directions.
Saute onion until tender (original recipe also included 1/2 cup bell pepper and carrot chopped but I omitted them) . Combine cooked rice, onion, cooked chicken, beans, diced tomatoes and chilies in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30 minutes covered. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes.
