I intended to make something similar to this recipe below from last November.  But, our dinner plans changed at the last minute, so I am reposting this recipe for tonight!

Ingredients
1 cup rice, uncooked ($.20)
1 small can Rotel tomatoes with chiles ($.69)
1 t ground cumin and garlic powder ($.10)
3 chicken breasts ($2.25)
1 T fajita seasoning ($.10)
1 serving Salsa verde ($.50) Or use 5 oz. can of green chiles!
1/2 cup shredded cheese ($.37) Omit if dairy free!
2 cups frozen corn ($.68)

Directions
1. Place chicken breasts in 8×8 baking dish. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Pour salsa verde over the chicken. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through.  Cooking time will vary depending on thickness of the chicken.
2. Boil 2 1/4 cup water. Add 1 cup uncooked rice, can of Rotel (with juices) and spices. Bring to boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Cook corn according to package instructions.
