Award-Winning Chicken
We’re not kidding when we say that this recipe has won awards. A contest-winning recipe from the 2009 Restaurant Recipe Challenge, there’s a lot to love about this Cumin Rubbed Chicken with Artichoke Salsa.
What makes this dish a winner? We think it has a little something to do with our 10-minute Success® Boil-in-Bag Brown Rice and a whole lot to do with our homemade artichoke salsa. Comprised of lemon, onions, tomatoes and parsley, this artichoke salsa is the perfect pair for savory, cumin spiced-chicken.
Speaking of chicken, it’s another reason why this recipe is a weeknight hero. Two teaspoons of ground cumin and a bit of salt give this chicken tons of flavor. Seared in hot oil, this chicken is juicy, golden and perfectly seasoned.
Cumin 101
Cumin gets the most flavor after being toasted as heating the spice brings out its fragrant, nutty flavors. Mostly found in Indian cuisine, cumin is popular in curries, stews and goes well with chicken and vegetarian dishes. It offers earthy, nutty, citrusy and slightly spicy notes. If you don’t have any on hand, try ground coriander, instead.
