List of Ingredients

So fragrant and delicious...just takes minutes to prepare!
1 pkg. pick-of-the-chix cut-up chicken (9 pieces)
Vegetable oil
1 1/2-2 cups raw rice
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
2 tsp. salt
1-2 cloves of garlic, finely diced
1 tsp. ground cumin
Juice of 1/2 lime




Recipe

Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Brown the chicken pieces in 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet; set aside. Use this oil in a large cooking pot to brown the rice, onion and peppers adding the diced garlic last. Add extra oil, if needed. When the rice is brown, add the browned chicken, tomato sauce, salt, spices and 2-3 cups of water. Stir well. Simmer, covered, 35 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender and most of the water is absorbed. Squeeze the lime juice over it and serve.
