Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 medium tomato, chopped
3 green onions, chopped

Directions

1. Toss chicken with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; saute chicken until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan.
2. In same pan, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; saute rice until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Stir in beans, canned tomatoes, seasonings and broth; bring to a boil. Place chicken on top (do not stir into rice). Simmer, covered, until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes.
