Ingredients (8)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website. For dips, make and enjoy your dip creation. Then, refrigerate within 2 hours or discard.

Steps (4)

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, toss the chicken and seasoning mix together until well-coated.

  2. 2

    Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when hot, add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (165°F).

  3. 3

    Stir in the beans, salsa, rice, and water to the chicken; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.

  4. 4

    Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff and serve hot. (For a bit of freshness and added spice, garnish with fresh cilantro and diced jalapeño.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My picky eaters loved it! I usually don't write reviews, but had to for this! This meal is super simple and very tasty. It was all a one skillet meal just like it says. Kids loved it! If you want extra ranch taste I'd add two packets like the others suggested. I didn't add the beans, and added a half cup extra rice. So good, can't wait to make it again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from YUM My picky hubby not only ate this for dinner, but took the leftovers to work later in the week! Super simple to make, although I definitely recommend using 2 packets of ranch seasoning. I omit the jalapeño, as my kids are little (5 and 2) and hubby doesn't like spicy at all, but this is a really tasty dish!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from delicious My kids Love this along with my husband. I used two packets instead very ranchy and yummy. And so everyone knows the stock is very well written in the ingredients. So, I don't understand why you missed it. Anyways love it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poorly written Missing a LOT Of information. Stock is mentioned, but not in the ingredients, and no quantity. Same with the onion. 2-3 minutes is absolutely not enough time to thoroughly cook 1" cubes of chicken, unless you have a magical stove that can bend the laws of physics. I have personal issues with instant rice - would have been nice had the recipe included a healthier option. Ultimately, I'm disappointed by something this poorly written a. ending up linked to such a prominent brand, and b. advertised on tv when it had clearly not been proofed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Re-think ingredients -- Excellent Dish! Boil chicken breasts (I used 2 large ones),drain, chopped and then put in skillet to brown; Used 14 oz fire roasted tomatoes, chopped; Used REGULAR (not instant) rice and used the chicken stock for its water (omit water in this recipe if you do this); used Texas Pete for jalapeno; used dried cilantro (about 1/4 teasp). Used the remaining ingredients and directions in this recipe. As my husband said, "You knocked it out of the park!" with this recipe. Absolutely delicious, not spicy and so yummy and tastety! Great to add a side salad or a fruit salad as its side. Very filling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious & easy! I used frozen El monterey spanish rice, which made it even easier. It was so tasty with the taco seasoning mixed with Hidden Valley ranch seasoning. We filled little corn tortillas for dinner and the leftovers were perfect on top of my green salad the next day.
