Cheesy Spanish Rice With Chicken and Black Beans image

Don't let the list of ingredients scare you. This is a great recipe for just everyday, as well as for invited quests. A real comfort food. I just put boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a food processor, pulse until ground. Be very careful, the chicken can turn into a paste very quickly.
