Start by chopping about three boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper if you want and saute them in a little oil until golden and cooked through.
While you are cooking the chicken, prepare two packages of Knorr Chicken Rice, according to the directions. 
While the rice is still pretty liquid, but starting to soften, add in about 3 ounces or so of Velveeta, chopped up, until it melts into the mix.When the chicken and rice are both done, mix the rice into the pan with the chicken and scrape up any brown bits into the rice. And serve!
Ok, so this is absolutely nothing like paella, other than the rice and chicken, but hey, "Poor Man's Paella" is a lot more fun to say than "Cheesy Chicken Rice". Got your attention, didn't it?In any case, its a cheap, fast, easy, and very satisfying dish for a cold night when you don't much feel like cooking.

This looks really easy and kid friendly. I want to try it!
**giggles** I remember when you taught me how to make this...I made it for YEARS! LOL!
Looks good to me! Quick, easy, relatively inexpensive, and my kids would eat it. No wonder it's a standby!
Sounds like a good combination of cheesy rice and chicken. You can never have too many of these kind of recipes.
Whatever you call it, it sounds delicious! So much yummy cheese...no complaints there!
