Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Chicken, salsa, rice, and black beans make up this easy skillet dinner.
1 pound boned and skinned chicken breasts, cubed
2 teaspoons olive oil
2/3 cup salsa or picante sauce
3/4 cup uncooked instant rice
1/3 cup water
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
salt, optional
freshly ground black pepper
In a large no-stick frying pan, combine the chicken and oil. Cook over high heat, stirring, for 4 minutes, or until chicken begins to brown.
Stir in the salsa or picante sauce. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the rice, water and beans. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken and rice are cooked through.
Fluff with a fork before serving. Season with salt and pepper.

I liked that this Tex-Mex style dish didn't use taco seasoning mix for the flavor. I used a nice spicy salsa and it really did the trick to make the chicken and black beans a hearty and flavorful dish.
