Quick salsa chicken and rice recipe for a hearty, filling meal in a hurry.

1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (preferably olive oil)
1-pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 1 1/2-pounds chicken tenders
2 cloves fresh garlic
2 cups brown or white rice
2, 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes with green chiles (may buy generic brand to save money!)
1 1/4 cups water
1 to 2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 chopped green onions (use only green part)
Cilantro (garnish, optional)

Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan or skillet. Add chicken and garlic, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink.
Add rice, water, and chicken bouillon cubes, and tomatoes and bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes longer, allowing liquid to be absorbed and rice to become tender.
Toss with chopped green onions and serve at once.
