Ingredients
 

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, add undrained tomatoes, water, salt, and onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat
  • Stir in the rice, chicken, and undrained beans with jalapenos until thoroughly mixed; cover.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes with the lid on. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Notes

For the beans with jalapenos, you can substitute a 15-ounce can of regular Ranch Style Pinto Beans (without jalapenos) plus a 4-ounce can of diced jalapeno peppers. This also allows you to customize your heat level by adding more or less jalapenos.
