Caribbean Salsa Chicken


I made this last night and it was very tasty! A nice citrus fruity taste- but not for those who don't like fruit with their meat.





  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp. oil (or butter)
  • 2 chicken breasts, chopped into chunks
  • 1 cup salsa (I used about half a jar of medium)
  • ½ cup mandarin oranges
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  1. Cook rice as directed.
  2. Heat oil (or butter) in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook and stir for 7 minutes, or until no longer pink.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine salsa, oranges, brown sugar, lemon juice, and spices; mix well.
  4. Add salsa mix to chicken, stirring well. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve over hot cooked rice.

With 1 cup rice, we estimate the points to be 7 points per serving.
