THE SIMPLE SALSA CHICKEN RECIPE THAT WILL WARM YOU UP AND KEEP YOU HEALTHY ALL COMFORT FOOD SEASON LONG

INGREDIENTS

• 5-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tsp minced garlic
• 32 oz mild salsa
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 2-3 tsp cinnamon
• salt and pepper to taste
• brown rice

DIRECTIONS

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat, then add garlic and saute.
• Add chicken thighs and brown about 5 minutes per side.
• Combine salsa, honey, and spices, and pour over chicken.
• Turn heat down to medium, cover, and simmer for about 35-40 minutes.
• Serve over brown rice and enjoy!

See? I told you it was simple! Just ten to fifteen minutes of prep work, then you can focus your attention on something else on your to-do list while it cooks.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS

My recommendation is to purchase microwavable brown rice pouches instead of cooking your own on the stove to save you time and dishes to do! Trader Joe’s has a great frozen, organic brown rice option that cooks in just 3 minutes.

This dish also makes great leftovers when reheated and is something the whole family will love!

If you like things a little spicier, opt for a higher spice level salsa!
