This is my dinnertime solution when I haven't had time to stop by the grocery store. I always keep chicken in the freezer, and the rest is in the pantry. -CL Reader Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup uncooked basmati rice |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 (16-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained |
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan, and stir in rice and red pepper. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in beans and tomatoes; keep warm.
2. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Serve chicken with rice mixture.
