Time 1h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1/2 cup salsa, medium heat (or heat of choice)
1 cup brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 chicken thighs, boneless skinless (1 1/4 lbs)
2 tablespoons brown rice flour (or flour of choice)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4-1 teaspoon chili powder (or to desired heat)
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 onion, small (chopped or minced)
1/2 green pepper, large (chopped or minced)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 lb zucchini, cut into 4ths then sliced for 1/4 round slices

olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Bring first four ingredients to a boil in saucepan. Cover and simmer 45-50 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into bite size chunks, shake in plastic bag with the rice flour, cumin, chili powder, Italian seasoning and salt.
  • I use Pam type spray or several teaspoons olive oil to saute onions and peppers, cook till onions translucent, add garlic. cook a minute or so. Add zucchini and cover, toss frequently to start the zucchini cooking. Let cool -- then add salsa. Mix together, cover and let simmer.
  • In another frypan, heat a few teaspoons olive oil or Pam type spray. Brown chicken cubes that you shook with seasoning and flour.
  • Add chicken chunks to the veggies, simmer until rice is done.
  • Serve over rice.

I was disappointed with this dish. The chicken was dry and the zucchini was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and the zucchini was cooked perfectly. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder.

This dish was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. The zucchini and rice were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.
