Cook Time15 minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 box frozen spinach

Instructions

  • Toss the garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Separate the skin from the thigh.
  • And spoon in some seasonings.
  • Spoon in some salsa. Repeat for all the chicken thighs that you’ll be grilling.
  • Sprinkle any remaining seasonings on top of the chicken thighs.
  • Spread any remaining salsa into the bottom of a shallow dish or baking dish and let the chicken sit on top of the salsa, so the underside of the chicken marinates and takes on a bit of the salsa flavor. Let sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Grill.
  • Until cooked through.
  • Devour.
  • Cook rice and frozen spinach as directed on packages.
  • Serve Salsa Chicken with rice and spinach.
