1. In your rice cooker add the uncooked rice, tomato sauce, broth, green chilis and water (minus 1/4 cup)
2. Saute the garlic, pepper, onion and chicken in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the rinsed black beans, taco seasoning, and remaining 1/4 cup of water to the skillet
4. Stir frequently until the beans are warmed.
5. Layer the bowl with rice on bottom, then chicken mixture and top with cheese, sour cream and salsa. Since we don't do dairy we just did Homemade Salsa and dairy free cheese.
6. Enjoy!

Fresh Salsa

• 2 large tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 1 large celery stalk
• Juice from half a lime
• 3 t. salt
  
• 2-3 T. garlic
• 1/2 of a bunch of cilantro
• 1 small bell pepper
• 1 small can of chili peppers (or for more spice 1 jalapeno pepper; without the seeds)
• *optional* add half a can of corn or (kernels from one small cob)
  

1.  I like to just throw all of it in my food processer and be done (add the corn after), but if you like your salsa chucky just cut all the veggies and put it all in a bowel.
2. It is good to eat just after you make it, but its best when you let the flavors marinate over night and eat it the next day.

• 1 large chicken breast
