Knorr Makes Dinner Easy: Spanish Chicken and Rice Recipe

March 11, 2014 By Kelly 3 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Giant Eagle for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

With busy family schedules, after school activities, homework, projects, and chores galore it’s hard to squeeze in a good family meal. While my year-long meal planning schedule helps tremendously some night we realize a little too late that we are fast approaching bedtime and dinner has yet to be prepared. On nights like that we have some go-to options, but often they are pretty boring even by my family’s standards.

Enter Knorr’s new Sides. Available at Giant Eagle stores you can find these sides for and all the ingredients you need for a fast and delicious meal on the cheap. (Sale prices often put these at $1 per pack!)

I made Spanish Chicken and Rice in under 30 minutes for less than $10!

Spanish Chicken and Rice

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 package Knorr® Fiesta Sides™ - Spanish Rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed olives (optional)-I skipped these for the family, but added them to my own dish

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until almost tender. Add water and Knorr® Fiesta Sides™ - Spanish Rice and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer covered 5 minutes.
  • Stir in green peas and carrots and continue cooking 2 minutes until rice is tender.
  • Just before serving, stir in chicken and optionally olives.

Now serve and enjoy!
