sweet salsa chicken!

I don't know why this recipe hasn't been posted on the blog yet! it's a staple in our home, and one that everyone loves when we share.

Sweet Salsa Chicken

1 pkg Taco Seasoning
4 Chicken Breasts
2 T. oil
1 C. salsa1/4 C. apricot jam
1/4 C. water
1 T. Cilantro
1 T. lime juice
1 (15 oz) can of black beans
drain and rinse

Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces.  In large skillet heat oil; add chicken and taco seasoning and cook until juices run clear. Add salsa, apricot jam, water, cilantro, and lime juice.  Bring to a boil. stir in beans, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.  Serve over rice.

here are our personal changes to the recipe, we don't add cilantro because we aren't big fans, so in my opinion that step is optional. and we decided to add a 15 oz can of corn (dranded and rinsed) to the mixture. also we eat our with tortilla chips and it is one delicious meal.

this meal makes enough for a few adults, most likely you will have left overs, but it's great the next day too!
