Spanish Chicken


 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup chopped tomato
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

 

Conventional oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8” × 8” pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange chicken in the pan. Top with remaining ingredients. Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes or until chicken is done.

Barbecue or broiler: Barbecue or broil chicken about 3–4 minutes on each side or until done. Mix remaining ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover, venting the lid, and cook on high in microwave until heated throughout, about 2 minutes. Pour over cooked chicken.

Microwave oven: Arrange chicken in a microwave-safe dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Top with remaining ingredients. Cover, venting the lid, and cook on high for 6–8 minutes, rotating 1/4 turn halfway through cooking time. Time will vary with thickness of chicken.
