Mexicali Chicken Skillet

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Extraordinarily easy. Excellent with addition of rice and refried black beans. Did add some extra white onion and a clove of garlic with the salsa to great effect...awesome for a college student on a budget with rudimentary kitchen skills! 4 stars only because while strongly flavored, a bit one-dimensional and a little too tomato-ey.

    Mexicali Chicken Skillet, This is a recipe that I found on ChefMD A quick & easy stove top chicken recipe I served this with oven roasted potatoes and asparagus , Extraordinarily easy Excellent with addition of rice and refried black beans Did add some extra white onion and a clove of garlic with the salsa to great effect awesome for a college student on a budget with rudimentary kitchen skills! 4 stars only because while strongly flavored, a bit one-dimensional and a little too tomato-ey , Excellent! used 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper and it still had quite the zing to it, but we like it like that, but I was trying to make it more mellow for the kids, which did not really work out I also added 1/3 cup of long grain rice which made a lot of rice along with the salsa Had to add a bit of chicken broth to be able to cook the rice until tender, perhaps my skillet was too large I sprinkled with cilantro and green onions just before serving
