My daughter Dawn made this for dinner tonight, and everyone in her family loved it!

Oil for frying
Onion
Garlic
1 can green chilis
2 pounds pound cubed skinless, boneless chicken breast meat
1 package taco seasoning mix
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans
16 ounces can sweet corn
1 cup salsa
2 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
1-1/2 cups crushed plain tortilla chips
1 cup minute rice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute onion, garlic, and chicken in oil until cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Add taco seasoning, green chilis, beans, corn, salsa and water (if necessary) to prevent drying out.

Cover skillet and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes.

Mix in uncooked minute rice

Transfer chicken mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Top with 1 cup of the cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Add remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve with cornbread.
