Fiesta Chicken & Rice

Ah, the end of another glorious cooking afternoon! Here is one of the delicious meals we made today to freeze for later in the week: Fiesta Chicken and Rice. Justin's eyes got wide when he tasted it and said "Not Fair!" Apparently it's too tasty for his own good. In any case, here is how you do it:

INGREDIENTS

1 pound chicken, cut into small pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 can diced tomatoes

1 small 7 oz jar of green salsa (salsa verde)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 cup cooked brown rice

salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until almost fully cooked. 

2. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer for about ten minutes. 

FREEZING TIPS

*Completely cool before freezing

*When you want to eat it, take out of the freezer the night before and put into the fridge. Once it is mostly defrosted, just heat in the oven or a skillet.
