Ingredients

    1 15 oz. can organic Garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained)
    1 15 oz. can organic Black beans (rinsed and drained)
    1 28 oz. can Diced Tomatoes (store brands have less sodium generally) (don't drain, use the juices)
    1 16 oz. Jar Newman's Own Black Bean and Corn Salsa
    1 lbs. Chicken
    1 16 oz. package frozen yellow corn (add while still frozen)
    4 cups cooked brown rice

Directions

- Turn burner on Medium high - high. (mixture should be at a medium to low boil the whole time)
- In a very large non-stick sauce pan combine all ingredients except brown rice and cover. Let cook for 20-25 min. (until chicken is cooked through)
- Take chicken out and set aside to cool (about 10 min.). Leave the lid off the sauce pan so it will cook the liquid down.
- Tip: If using Minute rice, start making it after taking the chicken out to cool.
- After the chicken is cooled shred it with a fork.
- Add the chicken back to the sauce pan and heat for about 5 min. or until hot.
- Serve over brown rice and enjoy :)
