garlic powder

Directions:

  1. Cook chicken in large skillet . Season with onion and garlic powder
  2. Chop chicken and return to skillet.  Push to one side of skillet.
  3. Add small amount of oil to empty side of skillet and add rice.  let the rice start to brown a bit
  4. Stir in beans, corn, chicken broth, taco seasoning, tomatoes, add a pinch of cilantro
  5. cook covered for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed
  6. Add a spoonful of sour cream/Greek yogurt and a handful of cheddar cheese.  
  7. Stir and let cheese melt.
  8. Serve like this or with tortillas
