Santa Fe Chicken
Why I Love This Recipe
Another one from Light and Tasty magazine. I just need to remember to get the right kind of rice to make it.

1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheddar
Minced cilantro, optional

In a large skillet, saute the onion, jalapeno and garlic in oil until tender.
