14 1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes undrained

In a saucepan cook pepper in the oil with garlic and onion powder until veggies are softened. Add black beans, tomatoes, Tomato sauce and water, corn, rice, chili powder and red pepper flakes and a dash of salt if needed. Bring to a boiling then transfer all food into a 3 quarter baking dish. Add chicken pieces on top if using and put in the oven. Cook for 40-45 minutes until rice and chicken are done.
