This meal was born one evening when I was way too hungry, had no plan for dinner, and was craving Mexican food. I found a few chicken breasts, a jar of salsa, a can of beans, and some rice. Over time, I've added a few more ingredients, but it is just as easy and delicious!

This dinner takes 30 minutes tops, and the hardest part is opening the salsa jar. Fast, cheap, and delicious - my kind of meal!

I chop my chicken breasts in half, just so they cook a littler faster. Add them to the skillet, and then dump the salsa, olives, beans, and corn (all drained) on top. Heat it over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. While that's cooking, get the rice going in another pan, according to the directions on the package.


Serve the chicken over rice, with chunks of avocado, a sprinkle of cheese, and a some crunched tortilla chips! I pop the prepared plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese and warm the avocados slightly. May not be high-tech but it works ;)
