Chicken and Rice

bullet

1 box Zatarain’s yellow rice

bullet

1 cup chopped onion

bullet

½ cup chopped green bell pepper

bullet

½ cup chopped carrot

bullet

1 TBSP olive oil

bullet

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

bullet

1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

bullet

1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes

bullet

2 cups (8 oz) grated Monterey jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare rice according to package directions and sit aside.

Sauté onion, bell pepper, and carrot in hot oil in 10" skillet until tender, 5-10 minutes.

Combine hot cooked rice, vegetable mixture, chicken, beans, Rotel tomatoes, and 1 ½ cups cheese in a large bowl. Spoon into lightly greased 3-qt or 13 x 9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese.

Bake, covered, at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.

NOTE: This is in the February 2009 Southern Living. It called for a 10 oz. package of yellow rice, but we like Zatarain’s (which is 8 oz) so I just used that. I also bought Purdue ready made chicken, which comes in 2 cup packages. For this recipe I got the Italian spiced ones. It was quite easy to do and taste very good!
