Ingredients:

• 2 boxes Mexican-flavor Rice-a-Roni
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cooked and cubed
• 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
• 1-2 cut up tomatoes
• 1/2 jar or about 1/2 cup sliced jalapeno peppers
• Sour cream

Method

Brown Rice-a-Roni in 4 Tbsp butter, and add water as per instructions on rice-a-roni boxes. Add the cooked chicken breast pieces, the corn, and the seasoning packet. Put on the lid and cook for the time recommended on the box, about 20 minutes. When done mix in the cut up tomatoes and peppers. I put the sour cream on the table when I serve this--a nice big dollop on top of a serving really makes this dish delicious!

Notes: To save time and make it really easy, I usually cook the chicken in the microwave, then cut it into pieces. Also, this makes a rather large amount. You could easily cut the recipe in half if you wanted to.

Number of servings: 6 to 8
