Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts ( boneless and skinless)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onions, diced
14 ounces salsa ( we prefer medium hot chunky salsa)
1 cup quick-cooking white rice, uncooked
1 -1 1/2 cup chicken broth ( we use low fat, low sodium broth)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
Directions:
Cut chicken breasts into 1-2 inch chunks or slices.
Heat oil in a skillet and add chicken and onion.
Saute over medium high heat until chicken is browned on one side and onion is fragrant but not burnt.
Turn chicken pieces to brown on the other side for 1 minute.
Add raw rice and stir to coat with pan juices.
Immediately add chicken broth, salsa and tomato paste; stir to combine.
Bring mixture up to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir mixture.
If rice has absorbed all of the liquid, add up to 1/2 cup more broth and stir.
Top with shredded cheese, cover and cook another 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir the cheese into the rice mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
