Cooking

So I really don't cook very much! That was my New Year's resolution for this year to become a better cook! I did great until the end of Feburary! We were even having candlelight dinners...I had a menu and we were eating great! But, I am back into my old rut! I am the kind of cook that has to have a plan. I hope to oneday be able to whip a meal together...as my mom does but for now I have to have a recipe and a plan. I did have to take a meal to a couple in our S.S. class who recently had a new baby...and I made a meal I really liked and it was super easy! I thought I might share! So easy!

Southwestern Chicken Skillet

Cut up two chicken breast and put in skillet with about a Tablespoon of oil. Cover and cook about 4 min or until done. (I took the lid off and let it brown a little..I am always a little worried about under cooking my chicken)

Remove Chicken and 2 cups of water, a bag of frozen corn and a jar of salsa! Let it come to a boil.

Add two cups of Minute brown rice, stir and cover. Let the water absorb. About 5 min.

Add your chicken in and top with Mexi cheese and let it melt. I added alot!
