This is an old post, but a goodie. Makes me want this for dinner tonight!
Circa December 2010:
Soooo, many of my friends have been blogging about their adventures in
the kitchen. With the success of dinner tonight I must share! Since
Travis just finished finals, he has a lot of time on his hands. During
the day he usually sleeps, plays video games, and now COOKS! Yes girls,
my man cooks, and he's awesome at it. Tonight I helped him make a
recipe from the back of the rice box. Here is the formal recipe
Southwestern Chicken Skillet
-4 small boneless chicken breast (approx. 1 lb)
-2.5 cups water
-1 cup salsa, thick 'n chunky
-10oz (we used 2 cups) of frozen corn
-2.5 cups MINUTE Brown Rice
-Pre-shredded Cheese
-2 squash (we added this because we had some that needed to get used up)
1. We cubed the chicken and cooked it in a skillet until cooked
through. While cooking we seasoned with chile powder, garlic powder,
and season salt (the must have ingredient for anything Travis makes. It
may be unhealthy but he likes it.)
2. In a separate skillet we grilled the squash (also seasoned: chile
powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and season salt)
3. Once the squash was grilled we removed it and added the water, salsa, and corn. Heat to boiling and then add the rice.
4. Cover the rice and reduce hit and let simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add the chicken, the squash, and some shredded cheese. Continue to cook covered for 5 minutes.
This dish was so delicious! I wasn't expecting it from the back of the
rice box, but man oh man. I'm really excited for leftovers tomorrow!
Unfortunately there are no pictures of the process or the finished
product. We ate too fast to take pictures. We had Quinn and Erica over
to eat and celebrate Travis finishing the semester. Afterward we played
Agricola, a long but very fun board game. A wonderful evening with
wonderful friends.
