-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
1 (1.4 ounce) package fajita seasoning mix, divided 
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cubed 
3 tablespoons vegetable oil 
1 medium onion, chopped 
1 teaspoon minced garlic 
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained 
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes 
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles 
3 cups water 
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice 
1 (2 1/2 ounce) can sliced ripe olives (optional) 
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed nacho cheese soup 
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 
1 tablespoon lime juice 
Combine flour and 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add chicken. Seal and shake to coat. 
Cook chicken in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat, stirring often, 4 minutes or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-high; add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Stir in remaining fajita seasoning, corn, next 5 ingredients, and, if desired, olives. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove lid, and stir in nacho cheese soup, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Garnish, if desired, and serve with breadsticks, if desired.
