After I made this I wasn't sure why it was called a fried rice but I guess if you look at it from a spicy southwestern way. Even though it's not fried it's a great dish. Very fast and easy to make!!

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn, thawed
1 small green pepper, chopped

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
1/2 shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the chicken, corn green pepper and onion in oil until chicken juices run clear.
2. Stir in the broth, salsa, chili powder and cayenne; bring to a boil.
3. Add the rice.
4. Cover and remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
