This Mango Salsa Chicken and Rice is pretty much all of my favorite things in one skillet, and it’s my newest addition to my 6 Ingredient Suppers series! March is all about 6 Ingredient Skillets and I think it might be my favorite month so far (though I don’t want to hurt January and February’s feelings). There’s just something about having a back pocket full of 6 ingredient meals that are mostly ready in one pan and 30 minutes that makes me so happy! If you missed them, this Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and this Taco Casserole are from the last two weeks! So about this chicken and rice. We’ve got long grain rice, chicken breasts or thighs, peppers, sweet and tangy Mango Salsa and a melty, cheesy blanket when it’s all done. Jarred mango salsa is one of my pantry obsessions, and even though I have this copycat Mango Salsa recipe right here, I just don’t always have the time to whip up a pot of salsa! I swear you could put that stuff on anything and it would be amazing.
How to make Mango Salsa Chicken and Rice:
Variations on this Chicken and Rice:
This Mango Salsa Chicken and Rice is naturally gluten free, just be sure to double check all of your ingredient packaging. To make dairy free, substitute a dairy free cheese or omit. Feel free to bump up the veggies! Whatever you think you would enjoy with this flavor profile is fair game. Keep in mind that quicker cooking vegetables should be added closer to the end of the cook time. Feel free to use another salsa as long as it is the same amount — regular tomato salsa, spicy, peach — get creative! Feel free to mix up the cheese or add other toppings! Avocado, lime wedges, green onions, cilantro are all great options.
