Chicken with Garbanzos



Makes 4 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes



2 cups water

1 cup long grain white rice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 can (1 pound) garbanzo beans

11/4 cups picante sauce or salsa, mild or medium spicy to taste



Bring water to a boil, stir in rice. Immediately after rice returns to a

boil, reduce heat to low simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Fluff with

fork, cover and keep warm until serving time. Remove all visible fat from

chicken and cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat a large, heavy nonstick skillet;

add olive oil and heat just to shimmering. Stir in chicken cubes and saute

over medium heat about 4 minutes, or until lightly cooked on all sides.

Meanwhile, drain garbanzos in a strainer, rinse with cold running water

and drain well. Add to chicken. Stir in sauce or salsa and simmer until

chicken is done and beans are heated through, about 4-5 more minutes.

Serve immediately over rice.
