Description

A delicious combination of chicken, salsa, and rice. Instant rice makes cooking this one-skillet meal quick and easy. Top it with melted Cheddar.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
2 cups instant rice
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until cooked through and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.

3 Cover the skillet and let it sit until rice is tender, about 5 minutes.
