Tomatillo Ranch Chicken

I found this on Pinterest and decided to try it. I loved it and would definitely make it again. It would also be good to make in the slow cooker and use for chicken tacos. Also for Sarah, this is 13 ww points plus. (not including the rice)

Tomatillo Ranch Chicken

1 Cup Mayo (I used lite)
1/2 Cup buttermilk
1 pkg buttermilk ranch dressing mix
2 1/2 tsp garlic
1cup cilantro
3 tomatillos, husked and chopped
1/2 tsp lime juice
3-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1.Blend together the first seven ingredients.  Pour one cup of the dressing into a ziplock bag. Add chicken breasts.  Seal and chill at least 30 mins up or overnight.

2.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Discard marinade and place chicken breasts side by side in a shallow baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Top with additional dressing and serve with rice if desired. Enjoy!

Cilantro Lime Rice

1 cup uncooked rice (long grain, white rice)

1 tsp butter

2 cloves garlic minced

1 tsp lime juice

1 can (15 oz) chicken broth

1 cup water

In a sauce pan combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 15-20 min until rice is tender. While rice is cooking, in a small bowl, combine:

1 Tbsp lime juice

2 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

When rice is done stir in cilantro mixture and fluff rice.

Mexican Rice

I've been meaning to post the recipe for the rice we had with our taquitos and now I finally have some time. I love this recipe because it is so easy and delicious. I found it one Sunday afternoon when we were trying to figure out what to make for dinner. We didn't have much on hand and we couldn't go to the store. I was excited when I saw this and we had everything. It comes from Allrecipes, and we have adapted it just a tiny bit.

Ingredients:
3 T Vegetable Oil
1 C Uncooked long grain rice
1 t Garlic Salt or Powder
1 t Chili Powder
1/4 C Chopped Onion
1/2 C Tomato Sauce
2 C Chicken Broth

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add rice. Cook, stirring frequently until the rice is golden brown. While the rice is cooking sprinkle the seasonings on top.

Stir in onions and cook until tender. Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
