Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups uncooked quick-cooking brown rice
1 (10 ounce) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 (10 ounce) bags corn chips

Directions:
Season the chicken breast cubes with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
In a largish skillet, heat the oil over high heat.
Add the chicken and cook, stirring often until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Remove to a plate.
In the same skillet, cook the onion over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until just soft.
Add the chicken broth and rice.
Heat to boiling over high heat.
Stir and reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the corn and the pinto beans.
Simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the chicken, scallions, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, vinegar and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
Serve immediately with corn chips alongside.
