No-Tequila Lime Chicken & Mexican Rice

I made Pioneer Woman's Tequila Lime Chicken, but I didn't have tequila and didn't want to buy tequila, so I just omitted it.  The chicken was delicious!  We put it in tacos with cheese, mashed black beans and PW's Mexican rice.  Definitely a hit!  Here is the recipe for the chicken. And here is the recipe for the Mexican rice, which is yummy and makes a ton for leftovers. 

Chipotle's "Skinny" Cilantro-Lime Rice

I served another Skinny Taste recipe with the Slow Cooked Sweet Barbacoa Pork - Cilantro-Lime Rice.  I looooovvveeee Chipotle's rice and this really does taste just like it.  I loved it!  And it was easy to make and went well with the pork.

Chicken, Rice and Asparagus

This isn't really a recipe.  I made it the other night because I had chicken and asparagus and bought a box of Rice A Roni's rice pilaf to go with it.  It was fast, easy and healthy.  I'm trying really hard to make healthy dinners.  I used lemon pepper seasoning on the asparagus with olive oil and baked it in the oven for about 15 minutes, and used the same seasoning on the chicken (which I also baked).  Pretty delicious and nutritious!
