4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3/4 c. uncooked Uncle Ben's long grain rice (we use brown rice)
1-2/3 c. water
8 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 pkg. low sodium El Paso taco seasoning (link for my homemade Taco Seasoning)
1 med. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. shredded cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese
salt and pepper to taste
fresh cilantro, garnish
Grease a 9 x 13 x 2" baking dish.
Combine rice, water, tomato sauce and taco seasoning; mix well.
Pour into baking dish and arrange chicken breasts over rice mixture. Top with green pepper.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese; return to oven until cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
