salsa chicken with cheesy rice
(1 RATING)
I first tried this recipe on a summer evening. Something about summer and salsa just seems to go together. And, of course, cheese goes with salsa. It was an immediate hit with the family. I mean, really, who can resist rice with a cup and half of cheese melted in it?
