- 1 1/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 3 tsp. canola oil, divided
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped

Directions
In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in 1 tsp. oil over medium high heat; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the carrots, onion and peppers in remaining oil for 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; saute 1-2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the water, black beans and red beans and rice mix.
Return chicken to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in tomatoes; heat through. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese.
