New Recipe - Green Chili Chicken & Rice Skillet

No more recipe of the week or month, since that obviously isn't happening! But this is a great recipe - I just made it tonight. And, once again, it's a dish all in one. I love those!

Green Chili Chicken & Rice Skillet
3 servings

1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. olive oil
3/4 cup diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
3/4 cup canned black beans, drained, rinsed
1 cup water
1 pkg. (6 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Southwestern Seasoned Chicken Breast Strips (I got a Perdue version - just something tasty)
1 cup instant brown rice, uncooked
1/2 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Mild Cheddar Cheese

COOK and stir peppers and garlic in hot oil in large skillet on medium heat 3 min. Add tomatoes with their liquid, the beans and water; mix well. Bring to boil.

STIR in chicken and rice; cover. Simmer 5 min. -- I actually ended up cooking it for 7 minutes (just to get rid of a little more liquid) and I didn't need the cheese on top. It's good enough without (and that's coming from me!).

REMOVE from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 min. Sprinkle with the cheese.
