So I know I haven't put my original chicken and rice on here yet, but this is inspired by that recipe and also my favorite snack, which is cream cheese and salsa dip. The dip is something Lee and I are totally hooked on..as are most people who try it (Lauren!). The dip is just a block of softened cream cheese and approximately one cup of your favorite salsa. Mix them together until you get a creamy pink mixture, and then get a bag of your favorite tortilla chips! Its like chips and salsa, only filling, and with calcium!
Ingredients
1 lb of chicken breasts or tenderloins
1 jar of salsa
1 block of cream cheese
Ok now onto the actual recipe. You can do this on the stove if you don't plan ahead of time to make it, but my favorite way is in the crock pot. Start out with a pound or so of chicken breasts or tenderloins, and put in a crockpot. Cover in salsa. Turn on low and let it cook all day. About an hour before you want to eat, make 4-6 servings of rice, following the directions on the bag of rice. Next, remove the chicken from the crock pot. Add a softened block of cream cheese to the salsa in the crock pot and stir in. While it is combining, pull it apart the chicken or just coarsely chop it. Then, add the chicken back into the salsa cream cheese mixture.
Serve over rice.
Happy cooking!
