Spanish Chicken and Rice

Ok this is definately nothing fancy at all, but it is a pretty cheap and quick meal to fix. This is enough for 2-3 people depending on how much they eat so you can double if you have more eating it Box of Spanish rice mix (I use zatarains) Small jar of ur favorite salsa (I use paul newmans pineapple salsa) 1 to 1 1/2lbs of chicken breast cut into chunks (not cooked) bag of shredded cheese, ur favorite kind Preheat oven to 400. In a 8x8 casserole dish, you can use bigger for more room and if you are making double, spray with pam and pour in the spanish rice mix. Add 2/3 cup of water and stir until dissolved. Add small jar of salsa and mix. Put chicken into the rice mixture and stir. Bake for about 30 min and check. You may need to bake 5-10 min longer depending on the size of chicken chunks and check your rice to make sure it is tender. Add the desired amount of shredded cheese to the top and bake about 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
