  1. Gather all the ingredients: chicken, black beans, sweet corn, tomato w/green chiles, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, quinoa or brown rice, bell peppers, chili packets.

  2. Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Boil chicken for 10 mins. You can also cook the chicken in the oven.

  4. Boil water in a large skillet and cook the quinoa until cooked through. Then add all the ingredients into the skillet. Mix together and cook together for 8 minutes.
