Green Chile Chicken & Black Bean Rice Bake
Uses: chicken breast, black beans, jasmine rice, green chile sauce, American cheese
Ingredients:
- 4 to 5 ounces cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 3/4 cup cooked jasmine rice
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Combine cooked chicken, rice, black beans, and green chile sauce in a small baking dish.
- Season with cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small amount of salt only if needed; the sauce and cheese may already be salty.

- Let stand for 2 minutes before serving, then finish with lime if available.
