Taco Chicken And Rice Recipe

Ingredients

2

cups uncooked instant rice

2

cups water

1

(1 1/4-oz.) pkg. 40% less-sodium taco seasoning mix

1

lb. precut chicken breast strips for stir-frying

1

(14 1/2-oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1/8

teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

Preparation

Cook rice in water as directed on package, omitting margarine and salt.

Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix in plastic bag or medium bowl. Add chicken; seal bag and shake or stir to coat well.

In large nonstick skillet, combine chicken, tomatoes, ground red pepper and remaining taco seasoning mix; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover tightly and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, stirring once. Serve over rice. If desired, top with nonfat sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro.
