"Oh Sh*t" Chicken

[sarahmichelef]

It's 4:20 and you have no idea what you're going to make for dinner. You have to leave to pick up the kid from daycare in 15 minutes, and she's going to need to have food put in her by 5:15 at the latest or you're going to have a pissedoffhungry toddler on your hands. It's Wednesday and M is going to fencing practice so eating after the kid is in bed isn't an option. Quick: what do you do?

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (yes, the assumption of the recipe is that you have these on hand - I had been intending to make a crock-pot recipe today and forgot to do it this morning)
  
• 1 c salsa
  
• 1 1/2 small onions
  
• 4 cloves garlic
  
• 3 c water
  
• 1 c rice
  

Preheat oven to 400.
Chop onion and chop/crush garlic.
Trim chicken & split breasts if needed.
Dump all ingredients in a 9x13 pan. Bake, covered, for 45 minutes.

I actually don't like the texture of the rice & salsa (next time I'll just bake the chicken in the salsa and make rice on the side), and the chicken could have used some seasoning in addition to the salsa, garlic, and onion. But on the whole, a perfectly good dinner. TRex takes after her daddy and thinks that rice and salsa is very tasty. She even consented to eat some of the chicken, as long as it was offered from my fork.

*little grin* so does that mean you only had 10 minutes since it took you about 5 to write the lj? *giggle*
