Cheesy BBQ Chicken and Rice

These come from Kraft Foods. I liked them but I think next time will use pinto beans instead of the black beans. It's just my preference, but you can make them just the way I did. I bet you're thinking, "BBQ Rice?" It's really pretty good. Give it a try...



BBQ Chicken and Rice
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
 2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
 1 cups Barbecue Sauce
 1-1/2 cups water
 1 cup canned black beans or pinto beans, drained
 1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided

Cook and stir chicken in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in rice, barbecue sauce and water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Add beans and 1 cup of the cheese; mix lightly. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; cover. Cook until cheese is melted.
