Sweet Salsa Chicken

I actually got this recipe of one of the food blogs that I read so I can't take credit, but it is good and pretty easy so I thought I would post it.

Sweet Salsa Chicken:

1 package Taco Seasoning

4 chicken breasts

2 Tbsp. oil1 cup salsa

1/4 cup apricot jam

1/4 cup water

1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped

1 Tbsp. lime juice

1 (15 oz.) can Black beans, drained and rinsed

Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces. In large skillet, heat oil; add chicken and taco seasoning. Cook until juices run clear. Add salsa, apricot jam, water, cilantro and lime juice. Bring to boil. Stir in beans, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Serve over rice.

Sour Cream Salsa:

I didn't actually make this because I forgot the sour cream at the store, but I am sure it would be worth it when I make it again.

1 cup sour cream

2 tsp lime zest

2 Tbsp. lime juice

1/3 cup Cilantro, chopped

4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped

1/2 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together and serve over chicken and rice.

Lime Cilantro Rice:

2-4 Tbsp butter

2 green onions peeled and minced

2 cups jasmine rice or long grain rice

grated zest of 2 limes

2 Tbsp fresh cilantro washed

4 cups hot chicken stock/broth

kosher salt and pepper to taste

Saute green onion in butter then add to all other ingredients in a 9x13 pan. Cover with foil. Cook at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until all liquid is gone and rice is soft. But, I was lazy and just put all the ingredients in the rice cooker. It turned out fine!~
