This is a simple, delicious and fulfilling dish that is easy to modify. I added diced tomatoes, substituted the chicken cubes with a few chicken breast that I boiled beforehand that were perfectly seasoned and I ate it with black bean tortilla chips. My dish came out more like a soup as I cooked the rice per the package instruction then added it to mixture of the other ingredients. I will definitely prepare this dish again and next time I plan to add a few jalapeno peppers.

This was a yummy recipe, even my two year old ate it and she is very very picky. My husband also liked it but he likes just about anything. Half way through eating my husband went and warmed up some corn tortillas in the microwave with a wet paper towel wrapped around it. Then we put the Black Beans, Chicken and Rice mixture on the tortillas, it made it even better.
