Spicy Chicken and Rice

Spicy Chicken and Rice

Less than $5 for meal

SERVES 4

• 1 lb chicken tenders, raw
• 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 (10 ounce) can rotel
• 1 cup white rice, uncooked
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• Garlic Powder
  
• salt & pepper

1. Using a large, deep skillet with a cover pour can of chicken broth and can of rotel into skillet.
2. Stir in cup of rice.
3. Lay chicken tenders on top of rice and sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Go easy on the pepper if you don't like it too hot because the Rotel has a little kick to it.
4. Cover and cook over medium high heat for 20 minutes or until chicken is opaque.
5. Remove from heat and sprinkle with the cheese. Stir lightly until cheese melts slightly.
6. Serve with whatever green you have on hand.

Leave a comment about the recipe. Tell us what you did different or something to improve the dish!

Combine these with the Target coupon (EXP. 10/04/2008) and get an even SWEETER deal!!!

NOTE: This Iams Q didn't print at the registry kiosik, so print this at home.
