Chicken Fajitas w/ Rice

I can't believe I haven't posted this one yet, this is one of my family's favorite meals! It's simple, really, just chicken fajitas served over rice and beans but we love it!

1 pound hormone-free chicken sliced thinly
1 sweet onion-sliced
1 pepper (I usually use green peppers, but yellow or red make it more fun and colorful)-sliced
1 pound diced mushrooms
Coconut Oil
1 pack organic fajita mix (MSG free of course-It's easy to season it yourself with cumin, chili powder, paprika, tumeric, salt, and salsa)
1 cup jasmine rice (basmati rice also tastes great)
1 can organic black beans

1. Saute' the chicken, pepper slices, and onion sliced with coconut oil in a large skillet...after about 5-10 minutes, add the mushrooms and continue saute'ing on medium heat.
2. While the meat mixture is cooking, prepare the 1 cup or jasmine rice according to package directions.
3. Once the meat mixture is cooked to your liking, add the seasoning and water and simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
4. Place the cooked rice in a casserole pan (I use a 9 x 9 pan usually).
5. Spread the black beans evenly over the top of the rice.
6. Pour the meat mixture and the remaining liquid over the top.
7. Bake the entire dish at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes to really soak the flavors together.

This is sure to be a family favorite! We usually all have seconds and fight over the leftovers!
