from Jewelie Rhodes
Joining Weight Watchers, I realized that instant rice is very high in points - higher than regular rice. When I made this tonight, I added a little broth (just what it needed) and used cooked/regular rice instead of instant rice. It was fantastic and I actually liked the flavor better. You don't need a full 14 ounces of broth with cooked regular rice Just pour in what you need to make it moist. You know how when you make hamburger helper and it has that processed aftertaste? I noticed that with instant rice that wasn't there tonight. We love the change.
I also added a can of black beans (recommendation from Jewelie - a change she's made since giving me the recipe). Yummy! I love black beans.
You could add other veggies, too, like onions if you wanted.

1 lb
chicken breast filets
2 T

14
oz can chicken broth
8 oz
can tomato soup
1
envelope taco seasoning
12
oz can corn, drained
1
red or green bell pepper
1
1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
cheddar
cheese, shredded
tortilla
chips
sour
cream
Rinse
chicken and pat dry, slice into strips. Stir fry in hot oil in skillet until
light brown. Add broth, tomato soup, and taco seasoning. Bring to
boil. Reduce heat. Simmer covered for 5 minutes, stir in corn and
bell pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in uncooked rice. Cover
and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes (covered). Fluff with
fork.
You
sprinkle the cheese on top. I mixed a little sour cream in and ate it
with a spoon. My family ate it like a dip, using the chips to scoop it
up. (I'm trying to eat less carbs so that's why I went with the
spoon.)
