Anyone have any good-for-you recipes you want to share?

Here is mine...its easy, fast (about 30 min.), and uses one pan:

Mexican Chicken and Rice

Ingredients

1-1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast - cut into bite size chunks
1 bell pepper - chopped
1 small onion - chopped (optional)
1 can chicken broth
1 small bag of frozen sweet corn
Salsa (mild, medium, or hot) - approx. 1 - 2 cups (I usually eyeball it)
Shredded Cheese (I normally use Kraft Mexican cheese...of course low fat is good)
1 - 2 cups Minute Rice (I eyeball it - depends on how much liquid there is)

Directions

Heat oil in skillet (use just enough to coat the skillet). Cook chicken, bell pepper, and onion on medium high heat until chicken is cooked through. Add chicken broth, frozen sweet corn, and salsa. Bring to a boil. Add rice. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 - 10 minutes. Stir. Add cheese. Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle a little parsley on top for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

*Note...you can make this dish as low cal as you want...substitutions are always good...This is a fast and easy dish to make!
