It seems everyone is in a hurry these days. This is an excellent recipe when you need something quick and simple for dinner. An easy meal, using only one dish, it will allow you to spend more time with your family. You can purchase the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the fat already removed, or trim them yourself, and everything else is already packaged. By using onion salt and garlic powder, you can have the flavor without the additional work of chopping onions and mincing garlic cloves. This is also a very forgiving dish, if your schedule changes; you can simmer as long as you need to, adding water occasionally.
4 boneless chicken breasts, fat trimmed
1 tsp. onion salt
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 14.5oz can stewed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 package Spanish rice
Heat olive oil, just enough to cover the bottom of a medium skillet, over medium heat. Trim the fat from 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 per serving), brown them in the skillet, and then remove.
In the skillet, mix 1 can tomato paste and 1 cup water until the sauce is smooth. Stir in 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 tsp. onion salt, 1 tsp. garlic powder and 1 package Spanish rice, and bring to a boil.
Add the chicken breasts, cover, and simmer for 25 to 35 minutes, until chicken is tender.
Makes 4 servings.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and just add water when you re-heat. This meal is almost more delicious the second day!
