Horror of horrors, we were cleaning out the freezer and found a pack of chicken legs. Just to get rid of them, we marinated it is a simple vinaigrette dressing and grilled them up, and served them with a simple rice dish, similar to the recipe used at Chipotle. It was supposed to be a meal just to get rid of the chicken, but it turned out so good that we are already planning to have it again soon.Cilantro Lime Rice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter
2 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
2/3 cup rice (or barley, wheat, or other whole grain)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Lime
2 tsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
2/3 cup rice (or barley, wheat, or other whole grain)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Lime
Cook the rice with the salt in a steamer, then stir in the butter, cilantro and squeeze the lime over the rice. Toss to fluff and serve.

i just had coconut lime rice... evidently you can get it as a mix in the ethnic isle at target. :)
that's called cheating but it's what i do.
The Cilantro Lime Rice is great with Salmon also! (I added more cilantro since it's one of my new favorite herbs). It's also good as a leftover for lunch.
