Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) medium salsa
  • 2 medium nectarines, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning
  • 1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • Minced fresh chives

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. Brown chicken in batches; return all to pan. Add the sweet potatoes, salsa, nectarines and seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes.

Test Kitchen tip
  • Tajin seasoning is a unique blend of lime, chile peppers and sea salt. Look for it in the spice aisle.
