Chicken and Black Bean Green Enchilada Rice Bake

I loved this recipe! Perhaps it was because it has a lot of my favorites inside like green enchilada sauce, black olives, tomatoes, black beans and cheese! It's easy to throw together and the leftovers are just as good, if not better. We ate this up to the last bite and I'm sure I'll make it again real soon.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Cook rice according to package directions. Place chicken, enchilada sauce, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, salt, pepper and cumin into a large bowl, mixing to combine. Pour cooked rice into prepared baking dish and layer beans on top of rice.
