Salsa Chicken
I was making fajitas, and didn't have my normal spice cabinet to pull from to season the meat, and felt it needed something. (my spice cabinet at home:)
I spied a huge jar of salsa that I knew we wouldn't eat, and began to cook. And the delicious result reminded me that one of the 1st "real" meals I made often when cooking on my own was salsa chicken.
And so, here, my friends, is an easy, healthy, gluten-free dinner recipe. Sometimes I get so caught up in cooking and experimenting that I forget that simplicity has its own beauty.
Salsa Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1/4 cup salsa for each chicken breast
2 cups brown rice
Heat a skillet with a tiny amount of oil in it, just to make it non-stick. Add chicken breasts and pour salsa on top. Cook, flipping once one side is done, until chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, cook rice in a separate pan. Serve rice under chicken & salsa, with a salad.
I love this--I have been making it for years. I usually add the rice and a cup of water to the pan, and cook until the rice is done. One pan, easy delicious meal. Gluten free. Yay!
