Receta Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice
Starting with a recipe that won a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation, I took the liberty to substitute chicken for the original recipe’s fish (see “Useful Links” below for the Tilapia version.) Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this snappy Spanish entree.
