Santa Fe Chicken and Rice

As a member of Allrecipes Allstars, I was given a list of Swanson’s Broth recipes to rate and review. A drop in energy dictated that quick and easy was a must for the recipe I chose. For some this dish may have been heavy for this time of year. It is by no means a “light” meal and we rarely let the calendar or temperature deter us from a good meal. This Santa Fe Chicken and Rice was a very good meal.
Santa Fe cuisine isn’t just about tacos or nachos with blue corn tortilla chips. It embraces the bounty of the southwest and often relies heavily on the use of chilies. Southwestern cuisine draws influence from Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultures. It gained popularity in New Mexico, and parts of the Southwest United States.
Early settlers in the area accepted many of the customs of the Native Americans. Corn, tomatoes, beans, avocados, and squash were several of the mainstays of their meals. From their homeland, Spanish settlers brought cheese, lard, and rice. Add to this the cuisine of American cowboys of the south and you have a delicious melting pot, which has evolved into today’s rustic Southwest cuisine.
I was pleasantly surprised that the 1 tsp of cumin used was enough to flavor the entire dish. Granted the picante sauce had some seasonings also, but still I was surprised. If you’re a carb lover this could be your dream meal. It’s filled with rice, corn and black beans. Even without the chicken this was delicious and enough to satisfy most carnivores. I served it with a few tortilla chips on the side and garnished it with a bit more cheese, cilantro and tomates. I tell ya, it was even better the next day. What was left of it.
The Mr. and my gallant new son-in-law have put in a request for more. That’s always a good sign. Allrecipes.com has a wealth of recipes for all occasions and all tastes please be sure and take a look see.
