Look no more! Chicken and Black Beans is a stick-to-your-ribs Mexican dinner favorite that can be prepared in no time.
What You'll Need
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch strips (1 to 1 ¼ pounds total)
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14 ½-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes (see Note)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup long- or whole-grain rice
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes
What to Do
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned.
- Add remaining ingredients then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Note
If you can't find Mexican-style stewed tomatoes in your supermarket, just use regular stewed tomatoes and add 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa.

Very bland. Needs a lot more spice, but is a good recipe to start off of.

This was well received by everyone in our house. I couldn't find the Mexican style stewed tomatoes so we used the regular stewed tomatoes and added about a 1/2 cup of salsa. Overall it was a pretty yummy dish!
