Simple, Spicy, and Delish: Tex Mex Chicken and Rice Bake

I love spicy foods, and it's easy to make spicy dishes healthy with a few tweaks here and there. I made this for dinner last night and it was yummy, my daughter even liked it and she is picky! Try it for yourself:

Tex Mex Chicken and Rice Bake
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (98% Fat Free) 
1 cup Pace Picante Sauce 
1/2 cup water 
1 cup whole kernel corn 
3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice or whole wheat rice
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (cut in half lengthwise) 
Paprika 
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat the oven to 375°F. Stir the soup, picante sauce, water, corn and rice in an 11x8x2-inch baking dish.  Top with the chicken.  Sprinkle with the paprika. Cover the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.  Sprinkle with the cheese.  Let stand until the cheese is melted.

Workout tip:
Walking! Walking is a great low impact way to burn calories. Brisk walking (3.5mph or faster) has been shown to reduce body fat, lower blood pressure, and even reduce risk of bone fractures. Brisk walking has also been associated with lower mortality rates from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Walking 30 minutes at 3.5mph burns an average of 125 calories. So next time you don’t have time to go to the gym take a brisk walk around your neighborhood.  


This is a very true quote for me, as insecurity tends to rule the way I think of myself at times:
