Tender chicken breasts on top of hearty chili and rice make for a filling and frugal meal-in-one that's only 85¢ a serving. "Choose mild or hot chili to suit your family's taste," suggests Kathy Duke of Anchorage, Alaska.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
2 cups cooked rice
1 can (15 ounces) chili with beans
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
4 slices process American cheese

Directions

In a nonstick skillet, brown chicken over medium heat on both sides. Spread rice in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine the chili and taco seasoning; spoon over the rice. Top with chicken.
Cover and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Top with cheese slices. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°

My husband loved the chicken but said the rice and chili just did not taste good together at all. This is a good idea though if you are on a low budget.
