INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 fluid ounces Mexican beer
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons chili powder

PREPARATION:
In a saucepan, bring the water and rice to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes, until rice is tender.
Heat the olive oil and 1 fluid ounce beer in a skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, and season with chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
