Chicken is celebrated for its taste, nutrition, and versatility in cuisine. Chef Rick Martinez suggests an effortless upgrade by pouring salsa over seared chicken and cooking it until tender — a method that creates flavorful, shredded chicken for diverse meals like tacos, rice bowls, and burritos. This technique not only simplifies weeknight cooking but also maximizes meal potential, ensuring easy meal prep and an upgrade to standard chicken dishes with just salsa involved.
To me, it's a really great way to change things up. One thing that I often do ... [I'll buy] a chicken ... sear the chicken on both sides, and then pour two cups of salsa over the top, and then just let it cook for 40 minutes until the chicken's falling apart.
You can make tacos with it, you can eat it with rice, make rice bowls, burritos, whatever you want. And you literally didn't do anything.
