Mexican Chicken

The weather has changed in Toronto and it is sunny and beautiful.  last nights dinner was a Mexican inspired meal.  I made Mexican flavoured chicken with a corn guacamole and mango salsa.  I also made Mexican rice (which came from a box, that my children wanted)  I had made quinoa however they wanted this rice.  Which was tasty.  

Teresa's Mexican Chicken

-1 medium onion chopped

-1 Portabello mushroom chopped

-olive oil

-2-3 chicken breasts

-1/2 cup green salsa

-1 teaspoon cumin (i put in empty frying pan and let it toast and set aside)

-4 tablespoons chili powder

-2 tablespoons soya sauce (i prefer tamari)

-1/2 cup wine or beer

-1 red pepper chopped (orange, yellow or green)

-juice of 1 lime
-top with fresh chopped cilantro

in a frying pan on medium heat add cumin and chili powder stir until browned.  (a few minutes)  set aside for later.  Add olive oil, onions, mushrooms and allow to cook until onions soft, add chicken breasts, cook each side for 6 minutes, then in a measuring cup add salsa, beer/wine, spices, soya sauce.  Pour over chicken, onions and mushrooms.  Add the chopped peppers and allow the flavours to blend together.  (cook for another 10 minutes or so, until chicken is cook and the sauce is thick)

serve over rice topped with cheddar cheese, use tortilla chips, or chop up and eat in a taco shell.
