Mexican Chicken and Rice

We eat this at least twice a month at our house. It's a super fast, easy, and healthy, one dish meal. I also make it a lot when we're having guests over. Sometimes we just eat it with cheese, sour cream, and chips, other times we toss on some chopped tomato, green onion, or cilantro. What ever you like. This is also great on top of a bed of lettuce with with salsa or taco sauce as a dressing.

Mexican Chicken and Rice

1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 10oz bag of frozen corn
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups salsa
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped cooked chicken (or cooked ground beef if you like. I added some leftover taco meat to mine.)
2 cups minute rice
Cheese
Sour cream
Crushed Doritos or Tortilla chips

1. In a large pot, mix together onion, green pepper, chicken broth, corn, salsa, and garlic, and meat.

2. Bring to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes then turn down heat.

3. Add in the rice, and cover and let stand for about 5 more minutes.

4. Serve in a bowl, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and crushed chips.
