Red Beans & Rice with Cheesy Chicken

Tonight I started cooking this at 6:10 and had it on the table ready to eat at 6:30. SUPER yummy. This is for 2 people and it was perfect, so double for 4, etc.

1 pack of Knorr sides RedBeans & Rice (you could use UncleBens or any brand) 

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 1 per person) (mine were frozen)

shredded cheese ( I used mexican blend cause its all I had)

Cook rice according to directions

In a small skillet, put in the chicken breasts. 

      NOTE: If you have time to thaw them out, cut them into bite size chunks first. Mine were frozen so I had to cook then chunk

Add in seasoning. I used McCormick Kickin Chicken which is GREAT, but you can use a combo of :

         seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper. 

Cook the chicken about 10 minutes or until done. 

When rice is done, cover and let sit for 2 minutes to thicken. Mix in shredded cheese and stir until melted.

When chicken is done, mix it in with the rice and add a little more cheese if you need to. 

Done!

When cooked this way, it is not too spicy, so I added in a little hot sauce or my favorite (taco bell fire sauce- it has a WONDERFUL flavor thats not too spicy). 

Serve alone or with tortillas.
