Mango Chicken Tacos

This is a recipe for delicious Mango Tacos.  They are my favorite right now.  I make them probably 2-3 times a month because they are so yummy and easy.

4 chicken breasts
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups mango salsa (I use the Costco kind)
Salt

Throw all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.  Shred chicken and serve on tortillas.  Top with cheese and sour cream.
ENJOY!

Cilantro Sweet Rice

Hey everyone, I've never posted on here before, but thought I'd post my newest favorite recipe. It's really easy, and really good....

Cilantro Sweet Rice

1 T. oil
1/2 of a white or yellow onion, chopped
1/2 of a bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/3 C. white rice *
3 C. chicken broth
1/3 C. sugar

Put oil in pan. Saute onion until translucent. Add cilantro and saute a minute more. Add rice; cook until light brown. Combine broth and sugar, letting sugar dissolve. Stir into rice. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low to med-low until rice is done (25-30 minutes).

*I use polished basmati, and it's REALLY good that way. You just have to add an extra 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 2 T. of sugar.
