Chicken Ole

brought by Jamie Cook

1 lb chicken breast--diced in 1/2 inch cubes

1 Tb taco seasoning

2 Tb olive oil

1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced in 1/2 inch pieces (I use at least one red bell pepper.)

1/2 medium onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces

2 cups salsa (Jamie used Mango Salsa)

1/3 cup cilantro leaves, very roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup Sonoma hot pepper jack cheese (I used cheddar)

Toss chicken with seasoning. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute the chicken, peppers and onions for 5 minutes. Add the salsa. Reduce the heat adn simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the salsa. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cilantro. Seasonwith salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish the cheese. Serve immediately over your favorite rice, pasta or couscous.

I do not add the cheese to the main dish. We eat it in tortillas with sour cream, black beans and cheese. Enjoy!
