Overview:
Number of servings: 4
Meal: Dinner
Main Ingredient: Chicken
Cuisine: Mexican
Recipe is For: Omnivore (Meat and Veggies)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup, shredded Cheese, low-sodium, cheddar or colby
4 tbsp Sour cream, reduced fat
1 tsp, leaves Spices, oregano, dried
2 dash Spices, pepper, black
1 dash Salt, table
2 breast, bone and skin removed Chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, raw
1 cup Sauce, salsa, ready-to-serve
1/2 lime yields Lime juice, raw
2 cup Rice, brown, medium-grain, cooked
Directions:
| Step 1: | Start brown rice about 20 minutes ahead of time, so that after about 40 minutes, it will be ready at the same time as the chicken. | 20 mins |
| Step 2: | Marinate whole chicken breasts for about 5 minutes in lime juice, sprinkled with oregano, salt and pepper. | 5 mins |
| Step 3: | Either grill or bake chicken for about 15 minutes, or until inside is no longer raw. | 15 mins |
| Step 4: | Fill bowl with half cup rice and add a quarter of the salsa. We like to use salsa with pieces of corn, but any will work. Slice half of one chicken breast on top and finish with a tbsp of sour cream. | 2 mins |
| Step 5: | If desired, sprinkle on a little cheddar cheese. We normally skip this. | 1 min |
