Chicken and rice with avocado sour cream
Chicken and rice with avocado sour cream
Comes together in about 25 minutes
Serves 4 adults - but I usually make extra since it reheats great then next day!
Ingredients-
2 chicken breasts - cut into chunks
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 cups rice
2 cups chicken stock/broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1 packet Sazon seasoning - found in the Spanish section of most grocery stores
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large lidded skillet over medium heat. Add the chunked chicken and brown about 3 minutes.
Add rice and mix well with chicken and left over oil.
Carefully add the stock, tomato sauce and sazon seasoning. Mix together well, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to low and put the lid on.
Allow to cook for 20 minutes. Stir with a fork to fluff the rice.
Avocado sour cream makes a great topper for this rice. It is also good as a dip or sandwich spread.
Ingredients
1 large Florida or 3 small Haas avocados - remove skins and seeds chunk flesh for a better fit in
food processor
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp lime or lemon juice
1 clove garlic
