Looking for a way to use up your CSA greens? Here's a simple and easy recipe from CSA members Denise and Art Cuestas for Salsa Chicken. You can use cilantro from the herb garden this week!
Salsa Chicken
1 Family Pack of Wegman's (or other brand of your choice) boneless/skinless chicken thighs (Bone-In works very well too)
1 15.5 oz Salsa (medium) - they use the Wegman's organic brand, in the Latin Foods section
Chopped Cilantro
Cut mixed greens of any variety
Rice of your choosing
Taco seasoning (optional)
Grated cheese for garnish.
Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker, then pour 3/4 bottle of salsa over the chicken. On a low setting, it usually takes about 3 hours to cook. On a high setting, about 2 1/2 hours or so. the best way to check to see if it is finished is to check a few times as it is cooking.
Prepare rice (quantity of your choice) while chicken is cooking.
When the chicken is fork tender, it should be finished. Mix in the rest of the Salsa, and if you like some taco seasoning of your choice. Add chopped cilantro to your taste.
On dinner plates or pasta bowls, place a large helping of a variety of cut greens (any kind). Spoon as much or as little rice on top of the greens. Top the greens with the chicken salsa mix from the slow cooker. Top with a little more fresh cilantro and grated cheese for garnish.
