Sweet & Spicy Grilled Chicken

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 jalapeno chili pepper, finely chopped
1 medium Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup of salsa

I grilled my chicken breasts with a little salt, pepper & garlic powder. Use whatever cooking method you prefer. When cooked set chicken aside & slice. In a medium pan, heat olive oil. Saute vegetables until tender. Add salsa & cook through until warm. Spoon over chicken. Serve over whole grain brown rice.

To give my whole grain brown rice a little more flavor, I use broth instead of water. I also throw in a little garlic powder or cilantro depending what the main dish is. This time, I threw in some fresh chopped mushrooms at the very beginning of cooking the rice. 

{My Thoughts}

If you don't do spicy, just leave out the jalapeno.
