Steps

1

Cook rice as directed on package for two servings, using 1/8 teaspoon salt, but omitting butter if called for.

Meanwhile, in medium microwavable bowl, mix chicken, black beans, 1 cup salsa and chili powder. Microwave on High 2 minutes or until hot, stirring after 1 minute.
3

Place cooked rice in large bowl; stir in cilantro and lime juice until well blended.
