Chicken Taco Rice Bowl

I found a crock pot recipe on Pinterest that I really wanted to try, however I couldn't pull my shit together last night or this morning to actually get the meal in the crock pot. Instead, I made a non-crock pot version after work.  It turned out so yummy! We are happy to have lots of leftovers!

The recipe I was suppose to make (found here)
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
splash of olive oil
2 chicken breasts, small cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chilli powder
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/4 tsp dried oregano1/4 tsp cayenne pepper1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small jar of salsa (whatever hotness you desire)
2 cups cooked rice
shredded cheddar to garnish

Method
Over medium heat warm olive oil in a frying pan.  Toss in cubed chicken breasts until fully cooked.  Add garlic and all spices (chilli powder, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper) and stir to coat chicken.  Cook for two minutes.  Add black beans and corn and salsa and stir. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes while you cook your rice.  Done and done. Serve chicken mixture over rice and top with cheese. Yummy Mexican food....
