This is the easiest recipe I know, and it's quite tasty, too. Grill
or saute chicken, cook rice and top with salsa!
Prepare: 5 min
Cook: 30 min
Servings: 4
4 3-oz portions of chicken breast (skinless and boneless)
2 cups salsa (any variety)
1 cup brown rice, uncooked
Bring two cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice, cover
the pot and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 30 minutes, or until rice
is tender.
Saute chicken breasts in a nonstick pan set on medium-high heat. Cook
about 6-8 minutes on each side. Add salsa to pan and heat through.
When rice is cooked, place 1/2 cup of rice on a plate and top with one
piece of chicken and about 1/2 cup of salsa.
Serve with a green salad, broccoli or green beans.
Note: You can also make this dish with 12 ounces of shrimp or tofu.
