Chicken and Rice Curry

This is such a quick meal, and depending on your needs and ingredients available, can be as quick as you desire.  I prefer to use chicken I cook myself, but for those nights when you need something in a hurry, using canned chicken works well.  This is also great if you have leftover chicken to get used up.  We used rice this time, but I also love this with Quinoa!

Ingredients

2 small cans chicken meat, or 2 chicken breasts chopped
1 can black beans
4-6 green onions chopped (depending on how large they are)
1 small pepper chopped (red, yellow, or orange)
1 bag boil in a bag brown rice
bottle of curry (there are many ways to do this- you can mix a curry paste with coconut milk, make some from scratch, or we use Trader Joe's brand- very yummy)

Step 1: Boil rice according to directions on box.  While that is cooking, cook chicken or warm the canned chicken in another pan.

Step 2: Add the black beans to the pan.  While that is heating, warm your pepper and onion is a small pan. 

Step 3: Combine the pepper and onion with the chicken and beans.  Mix together.  Add the curry and allow to heat through.

Step 4: Dish rice and top with the curry mixture.  Serve and ENJOY!!!
