Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) salsa
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) lime juice, fresh
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup (375 mL) brown rice
  • 1 lime (optional garnish)

    • Instructions

    1. 1 In a medium size bowl, mix together salsa, mustard and lime juice. Add skinless chicken thighs and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight.
    2. 2 Cook the brown rice in unsalted water according to package directions.
    3. 3 Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and add to skillet. Sauté until browned on both sides and juices run clear – about 9 minutes per side (end temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
    4. 4 Remove chicken from skillet leaving sauce behind. Add rest of marinade and bring to boil. Whisk in yogurt and sugar until heated through.
    5. 5 To serve place a piece of chicken alongside a scoop of brown rice. Top with sauce and garnish with a lime wedge.
