Mexican Chicken And Rice Recipe

Budget-friendly chicken pieces get mexican flavor in this easy everyday recipe. Ingredients in this dish include chicken pieces, garlic, tomato sauce, chili powder, green pepper, and hot cooked rice for serving. Use whole chicken legs or bone-in thighs in the dish, or use a cut-up frying chicken. Raisins and other dried fruits have long been used in mexican dishes. The golden raisins add some interesting flavor to this dish but they may be omitted. To stretch the dish a bit and increase the protein, add a 15-ounce can (drained) pinto beans or black beans.
