Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast *2 large chicken breasts thawed
  • 1 Package Taco Seasoning *1 oz packet
  • 1 Package Birdseye Steamfresh Corn *frozen
  • 1 Can Black Beans *strained and rinsed
  • 2 Cups Minute Rice
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • Cooking Spray

Toppings

  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Lettuce
  • 1-2 Tbs Low Fat Ranch Dressing
  • 1 tsp Tapatio Hot Sauce *optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large microwave safe bowl add 2 cups minute rice, and 2 cups water, stir to combine. Cover with a lid, leaving a small opening to vent. Cook for 9 minutes. Once finished let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and adding 1 tsp of salt.
  • Slice chicken into small cubes. Spray cooking spray onto a skillet and turn the heat to medium high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, once hot, sprinkle the packet of taco seasoning over the chicken, with 1 tsp of salt. Stir to combine, then cook for 4 minutes. After the first 4 minutes, turn the pieces of chicken over to the other side to cook for an additional 4 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is 165° when done cooking.
  • Place the frozen bag of corn into the microwave and cook according to package directions.
  • Strain and rinse the canned black beans and set aside.
  • Once the rice, chicken, corn, and black beans are ready, get out your 5 meal prep containers out. Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup for the corn, making it equal in all the containers. Use 1/4 cup measuring cup for the black beans, adding them equally into the containers. Use 1/2 cup measuring cup to distribute the rice into all 5 containers. Then spoon the chicken equally into all 5 containers.
    *Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the corn and black beans for added flavor

Toppings

  • You can add a drizzle of Tapatio hot sauce on each meal prep if you like some extra spice.
    You can put 1/2 cup shredded lettuce into small ziplock bags to easily add to your meal the day you eat it. You can also use small dressing cups for some low fat ranch dressing.

Notes

My husband likes to eat his without the toppings, and I like to add a little extra! Both are delicious! 
I like to use the Original Taco Bell Taco Seasoning Mix 1 oz packet, but any 1 oz taco seasoning packet will work.
