Great way to reinvent Chicken and Rice Left-overs. Rave reviews and I had the key ingrediants right in my fridge. I used this to spice up my grilled chix left overs so I added already grilled chix to the skillet and added the Salsa recipe. Scooped it ontop of nuked left over rice pilaf and tada! Chix Salsa! Delish!

I made the recipe as is, but the chicken had not absorbed any of the wonderful flavor of the sauce after the 2 minutes of cooking, so I covered the pan and simmered it for about 45 minutes. It really made a difference. The longer cooking time allowed the flavors to marry. I did add a little salt to the recipe. You could also top it with chopped green onions along with the cilantro. Such a simple recipe.

I loved the unusual combination in the sauce, but felt it was a bit too sweet. Next time I will either cut the marmalade or the brown sugar a bit.

I'll admit when I saw minute rice and allspice as the ingredients, I was very skeptical. I'm so glad I tried this one! The flavor was Awesome! Only downfall is I used medium salsa and the kids didn't like it - next time I'll use mild salsa.
