Arroz Con Pollo

Threw together a new recipe last night that turned out pretty yummy so I thought I would share. This is a Cheesy Chicken Rice dish that has a little spice to it.

Arroz Con Pollo

3 Chicken Breast (diced up & placed in ziploc bag and shaken in Fajita Seasoning)
2 cup Long Grain rice (Cooked)
1 small can green Chili peppers
2 Tomatoes(peeled & mashed) (you could also use canned tomatoes whole or diced just make sure you mash them)
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
garlic clove
chopped onion(keep in mind you can use onion salt if your kids dont like onions)
1 cup of cheese con queso
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 can Mexican Beans (drained)(you can use black beans, chili beans, or even a kidney bean if perfered or you could even leave them out totally)
1 can corn (drained)

I prepared my Chicken over a skillet with Pam sprayed in it and I used water instead of oil to keep low fat and it was perfect.  Cook your chicken thoroughly then combine with all other ingredients .  You can bake this in the oven for 30 minutes on 350 or I put mine in the Crockpot for 2 hours on low so it was ready when we were ready to eat and there was no prep then.  Great to add salsa & even sour cream if you wanted to try that as well. This is a dish that really needs no sides since it has so many ingredients in it but you could take your beans out of it and serve refried beans as a side if you prefer.

This was so simple and turned out delicious:)  Enjoy!
