Dutch Oven Chicken

My wife recently started using the 17 day diet.  After reviewing the way this is setup I have have been trying to incorporate the meal plan that the diet uses into our daily menu so that I can help her stay on the diet and still get the kids fed.  This diet is a high protein and vegetable heavy diet which is great and reasonably healthy but because it is also a low carb diet this can at times present a challenge.  Tonight, we had a version of dutch oven chicken on rice and my wife was able to use the chicken on her salad so every one was happy.

I started the dish by using on container of fresh, juicy salsa from the local grocery store and adding 1/2 cup of water to dutch oven. On this base I placed four large chicken breasts which were sprinkled with a seasoning by McCormick called “fiesta citrus” and then topped by red and green peppers.  The result was fantastic!  We placed the chicken on a bed of rice and and covered this with a scoop of sauce that remained in the oven.  This was great as my wife was able to skip the rice and add the chicken and veggies to her salad enabling her to stay on her diet and please the kids at the same time.  This dish was a hit that I will definitely repeat!
