    One Dish Mexican Chicken And Rice made in one pot, this meal has beans, tomatoes, chicken and rice for a healthier meal to feed your family

    I may or may not talk a lot about taco related food dishes on Baking With Mom. It's kind of my thing.

    I also love inventing new taco like dishes for my family to eat. They like it when I invent taco like dishes because then they aren't eating just plain tacos. Of course, they love just plain tacos, but my fondness of tacos makes it so we eat them a lot.

    They do like a little bit of variety.

    One Dish Mexican Chicken And Rice

    The one dish recipe is a favorite among busy moms. You can toss everything into a simple pan, stir it a couple of times and viola! You have a meal. That isn't even talking about clean up. Clean up is a cinch. Even if you don't make your children wash the dishes. ;-)

    I put together this meal last minute, adding ingredients as I went. I had some chicken I had cooked and frozen and used two chicken breasts for it. I also wanted rice, knowing some of my family would eat this with tortilla chips and others with a flour tortilla.

    I tried it both ways and it was delightful.  You can certainly just eat it with a spoon.

    You Have The Ingredients

    The ingredients are basic: beans, tomatoes with chili's, rice, chicken and tomato sauce. You can add cheese if you would like. I opted not to (gasp, I know). We add cheese to most things but went the cheeseless route this time. It had to happen sometime, ya know.

    I used my favorite pan for one dish meals, the Rachael Ray deep skillet. I can cook a lot of food in there (enough to feed a hungry crew of 6!).

    The One Dish Mexican Chicken And Rice makes a lot so you will have leftovers. Great for lunches the next day. Actually, if you wanted to make up a big batch of chicken recipe for lunches, your family will love you for it. Just be sure to pack the chips.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 chicken breasts cooked and diced
    • 1 cup rice uncooked
    • 10 oz diced tomatoes with chili's (do not drain)
    • 15 oz black beans (do not drain)
    • 8 oz tomato sauce
    • 1 cup water

    Instructions
     

    • Place cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, beans, and tomato sauce in a large skillet
    • Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes
    • Add rice and 1 cup water
    • Stirring occasionally, cook on medium low heat until rice softens and soaks up water
    • *If you need to add more water because rice isn't soft enough for your liking, add ½ cup and cook a while longer*
    • Serve with tortilla chips or with flour tortillas. Add sour cream and cheese if you choose
    • NOTE: Always use cooked chicken in this recipe. To always have cooked chicken on hand for recipes like this, I will cook the chicken in the crock pot on high for 4-5 hours or until juices run clear, then let it cool and put it in freezer bags. Then freeze it.
