Chicken

8 pieces of chicken breast

1 bottle Zesty Italian Dressing

1 T. chili powder

1 teasp. cumin

Place all ingredients in a crock pot and cook 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. You can also do this on the stove top by bringing all ingredients to a boil and them simmer about 2 hours. You want the meat to shred.

Dressing

1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing

1 cup mayo

1/3 cup buttermilk

1 cup chopped cilantro

2 cloves garlic

3 tomatilos

1/2 teasp. cayene pepper - can use less if you want it to be not so hot

Blend everything in a blender. (I sometimes add about 1/4 of a jalapeno pepper)

Rice

I use brown rice as it is more nutritional for you and is really good. To cook brown rice for this recipe:

4 cups water

4 teasp. chicken boullion

2 cups brown rice.

Bring the water and boullion to a boil. Add rice and stir. Bring to a boil and then turn down so it simmers. Cook 45-55 minutes.

Add:

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped

1 teasp. cumin

1 can green chilies

1/2 bunch green onions, minced

1/2 teasp. salt
