I found this delightful dish on Pinterest a while back. I decided to make it for the family on the first night of fall break. Huge success. I was impressed the brother didn't have any complaints, although I did add extra chicken just for him. Teenage boys REALLY like meat apparently. I think it makes great comfort food for the cooler weather months. And it's decently healthy. You can get the original recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff. Here's mine:
Ingredients:
1 cup minute brown rice
1 tbsp EVOO
1/2 small onion, diced
2 medium zucchini, sliced thin
4 small chicken breasts, thawed
8 oz package mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp cumin
salt to taste
ground cayenne pepper to taste
15 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
7 oz can of diced green chile peppers
Shredded cheese to taste (pick your variety)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Boil the chicken until done. Shred it or cube it. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet with the EVOO. Add onion, mushrooms, and zucchini. Cook until done; set aside. In a large microwave safe bowl, cook rice using broth from boiled chicken. Add seasoning, black beans, green chile peppers, chicken and some cheese; stir. Mix in vegetables from skillet. Place in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for about another 10 minutes. Enjoy!
