  1. Excellent, with a few additions. I cut up 2 breasts of chicken into ~1 in cubes and then coated them with leftover Emeril's Rustic Rub that we had stored in the kitchen (which is a combination of paprika, cayenne, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and oregano). Also, instead of using 2 cans of black beans, I used only 1 can plus 1 can of corn. It turned out delicious, and my fiance loved the extra kick of the spices on the chicken! Thanks for a tasty and easy recipe.

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
