One-pot Gluten-free Salsa Chicken And Rice #Recipe

We'd love it if you shared it!

I get in these moods where I want fresh salsa. I found some in the deli section of the grocery store on sale and snagged them. I had some chicken I had to make and decided to give this a whirl. It’s super easy to make. I used a mild salsa which did leave the dish with a little zip and zing but no heat. My son said he thought the dish smelled great, and tasted like something you’d get in a Mexican restaurant that we used to have in our area. The dish is easy to adapt in regards to heat, just use a hotter salsa if that’s your thing. Here’s how I made it.
