Cilantro Chicken and Rice

I really wanted something with a cilantro sauce and lots of it.  So I dove into the fridge to figure out what I had.  I decided to create this meal that was quick and delicious!  I started with rice but added a handful of diced cilantro to add a little extra flavor to the rice.  I let it cook while I made the chicken topping. 

I pulled out two frozen chicken breasts and threw them in a sink full of warm water.  This defrosts them pretty quick without cooking the outer layer.  I also like them a little frozen when I cut them up because it seems to make the cutting go quicker.  I heated about a tsp of olive oil in a pan and cooked the chicken with the rest of the cilantro.

When the chicken was no longer pink but not yet browned I started to add the rest of the veggies.  I put in 

1 whole onion, chopped

2 tbs of butter

 

1 red pepper

1 green pepper

2 tbs of Balsalmic Vinegar

2 tbs of Honey

1 small bag of frozen broccoli crowns

I cooked on medium heat until broccoli was warm.  I then added 2 avocados, chunked and salted to taste..

I served this over the cilantro rice and yummy!

I had some left over mashed Yams that I served as a side dish .

My kids both had tow helpings and we didn't have left overs.  It was great.  Try it and let me know if you have any other suggestions to throw in there.
