Five ingredients in this dish? Unbelievable!
  • 1 5 oz package yellow rice (your favorite brand or make your own as I did)
  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small can diced tomatoes (use green chile variety for more heat)
  • 2 links Mexican chorizo sausage, removed from casings
  • 1 small (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  1. Cook rice according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan drizzled with a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté til brown.
  3. Stir in tomato, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t black pepper, and chorizo; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer til thickened and chorizo is cooked.
  4. Stir in beans; cook til heated through.
  5. Top cooked rice with chicken and some sauce.

Absolutely delicious! Thank you Marian L. for guiding me to this recipe!

I dont think I would like this one. I am not a big fan of rice. I can eat it but don't enjoy it.

Glad you liked it. I will be making it again.

Sounds wonderful! I haven't the foggiest what we are going to eat and it's getting late. Hubby is running late -traffic.

I'm going to cook some macaroni and put meat sauce in it. But, am not real excited about eating it. :) There is no telling what I'll end up eating.

Wow, looks so good. My daughter-in-law brought me a large plate of Grilled chicken with a side helping of mac and cheese (I guess they grilled) and I was happy to get it. I've been working outside most of the day and I was pooped. Your pictures always make everything look good.

The chorizo cooks fast in the tomatoes, I take it...not too greasy, I hope. Only two broken-up links...
