Quick Cheesy Salsa Chicken


Most of you know but for those of you that don't .. my husband is allergic to CHICKEN.  This definitely narrows the meal selection in our home but when he's away it's always a chicken day.   Usually the boys and I plan out what kind of yummy chicken meals we're going to have when he's not home but sometimes the day just gets away from us and when they're starving, the only requirement for our chicken is that it's ready QUICK.  Enter Cheesy Salsa Chicken.  It's not fancy but it's quick and delicious~

What you'll need:
4 Boneless Chicken Breast (cut into cubes)
Seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic to taste or Silly Salt if you have it)
1 cup chicken stock (or water in a pinch)
1-2 cups salsa (start with 1 and add more if necessary)
1/2 cup sour cream

Cut your chicken into bite size pieces
 
Season as you like.  A sweet friend gave us a bottle of this silly salt and I love it!

Throw the chicken into a hot pan and cook until nice and brown and cooked through.  Add a bit of oil before if you like but it cooks just fine without it!


Remove the chicken to a plate and add your stock or water to the pan.  Let it bubble until it reduces by about half and use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the yummy bits in the pan.
 
 
 
Mix together the salsa and sour cream.
 
 
 Add the chicken back to the pan then add the salsa mixture.


 Add a little shredded cheese if you like :)

 
 Stir it really good and serve over a bed of lettuce.  For your super hungry kids I'd suggest adding some yellow rice and black beans .. yum!


 And for your Alabama fans, serve on their favorite Bama plate.


 And then annoy them by taking pictures while they eat!


 And snap a few pics of the little bit of Halloween decorations you have out.


Happy Halloween friends!
