Salsa Chicken

Wow where does the time go.  I have been so busy with life that our blog was stashed in the corner for a bit.  Now that life has calmed down a wee bit (just in time to rev up for the holidays) I thought I would share one of the easiest weeknight dinners ever and I do mean ever. 

I started making this accidentally a couple of years ago when I came home and had nothing to fix the fam for dinner.  I dug around and found a jar of Trader Joe's 3 pepper salsa (sadly they have discontinued) and decided I would dice up some chicken, mix it all together and pour it over rice and voila dinner would be served.   It was an instant hit and took all of about 20 minutes.

So here it is...Salsa Chicken

(1) jar of salsa (I use TJ's garlic chipotle salsa)

(1) package of chicken tenders

Rice (I use jasmine or basmati) or quinoa

Directions:  Dice chicken into bite size pieces, season with salt and pepper and brown in olive oil.  Once chicken is cooked add entire jar of salsa and simmer for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. 

Scoop on top of cooked rice and enjoy. 

This dinner tastes especially yummy when scooped up with a chip. 

Enjoy your day.
