    Cheesy Chicken with Beans and RicePin

    When both parents work, you need quick and easy meals to get through the week. It's just a fact.

    We don't have time to spend 2 or 3 hours every afternoon prepping and cooking a meal.

    I know that to be the case for many stay-at-home moms as well.

    Whether you homeschool or shuttle kids from piano to soccer, many moms and dads have busy afternoons. Again, not at all conducive to spending a long time in the kitchen.

    Enter Knorr Sides - and the complete dinners you can make from them in minutes just by adding a few simple ingredients. The meal we came up with (based on one of the 10 recipes in this booklet from Giant Eagle and Knorr) was amazing.

    It was flavorful - and the leftovers were even better the next day. Because it made enough for one family dinner and lunch for both Joe and myself for two more days, I think it's a really frugal meal as well.

    (Note - Knorr Rice Sides are not gluten-free. I'll share a gluten-free version of this recipe next week.)

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package Knorr Rice Sides - Chicken Flavor
    • 1-2 cups corn (one can will work, but we used some corn that we froze last summer)
    • 1-2 cups black beans (again, a can of beans will work)
    • 8 oz. green chilies undrained
    • 1 cup lime and garlic salsa
    • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
    • 1 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1-2 cups cheddar or Mexican blend cheese shredded

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare Knorr Rice Sides - Chicken Flavor according to package directions. Stir in corn, beans, green chilies, and salsa.
    • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring frequently, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 4 minutes.
    • To serve, arrange rice mixture on plate. Top with chicken and cheese.
