Chicken with Rice and Tomatoes

Something quick that I cooked up for dinner.

1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1-1/2 cups of rice, uncooked
1 cup water
1 cup Mozzarella Shredded Cheese
1 fresh tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro

Heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken and garlic; cover. Cook 5 mins on each side or until chicken is browned on both sides.  Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.

Add canned tomatoes, rice and water to skillet; stir. Bring to a boil; simmer, uncovered on low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.  Return chicken to skillet; top with cheese.  Cook, covered for 5 mins

Top with fresh tomatoes and cilantro.

Enjoy!

Canada's Baking and Sweets Show

This past weekend was the first ever Baking and Sweets Show in Mississauga at the International Centre and I had a chance to go opening day. It was a great day spent, especially for all you baker lovers out there, very inspiring. I left there with a sugar rush and came home with a bag of goodies.
