Mexican Salsa Chicken with Spanish Rice


Ok, so I cheated on this dinner. Big time. But you know what? It was delicious so I don't care. I had some left over salsa I wanted to use up, and I had a box of spanish rice in the cabinet and so I used those and some chicken and had a nice Mexican themed dinner.









1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
8 oz Tostitos Mild Salsa
salt
pepper
evoo for drizzling
Zatarain's Spanish Rice


Preheat oven to 350.

Drizzle evoo in baking pan, use enough to coat bottom. Place chicken in pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with salsa and place in oven. Cook for about 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

While chicken is cooking prepare the box of rice as called for.

To really get into the meal it might be fun to actually have some chips on hand and some corn bread.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn...
