Mexican Chicken and Rice

The picture isn't the best, but I received thumbs up from the family. Because I didn't want to go to the store, I decided to come up with something that we had all the ingredients for in the house. We served it in bowls with tortilla chips. A garden salad would go well with it also.

Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons oil
3 chicken breasts cut up in large pieces
taco seasoning to taste
1 cup salsa
1 can corn or 1-1/2 cups frozen corn
1 can black beans, drained
1 package (7 ounces) Zatarain's New Orleans Style Black Beans and Rice
2 cups water
1 cup grated cheese

Directions:
In a large skillet heat oil, add chicken and sprinkled with taco seasoning. When the chicken is white on all sides add salsa, corn and black beans. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.

Add box of rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and then simmer for 20-25 minutes. Just before serving, add grated cheese.
