Fiesta Chicken and Brown Rice

Ingredients:

2 3/4	cups	chicken broth
1	cup	Carolina® Brown Rice (Whole Grain)
3	tsp	Mrs. Dash® Extra Spicy Blend
4		small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2	cups	chunky-style salsa (mild)
1/2	cup	Cheddar-jack cheese

Directions:

Bring 2 ½ cups of the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash®. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, or until liquid absorbs.

Meanwhile preheat oven to 350º F. Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash® over chicken. Coat a non-stick ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Pour salsa over and around chicken. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is slightly pink in the center, 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and stir cooked rice and remaining ¼ cup chicken broth into salsa in pan. Put chicken over rice and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake until cheese melts and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 6-8 minutes.
