Ingredients

1 tablespoon Oil
1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed (about 4 breasts)
1 Small onion, chopped
1 Small green pepper, chopped
1 10 ounce Package frozen corn, thawed
1 cup Chicken broth
1 cup Your favorite mild salsa
1 1/2 cups Instant rice (minute rice preferred)
1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet (4 quart) or wok. Add chicken, onion and green pepper; cook and stir until chicken is cooked through. Add corn, broth, and salsa; bring to a boil. Stir in rice and cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork. Sprinkle with cheese and cover. Let stand 2 minutes or until cheese melts

Cook's Notes

I will omit the green pepper and it tastes fine. I will also use a 15 ounce can of corn if frozen is not on hand.
