Mesquite with Lime and Taco Rice

Mesquite with Lime and Taco Rice
Recipe:                                                           Dinner for 2                      Cook Time: 15 minutes
2 Chicken Breast
12 oz bottle Mesquite with Lime Marinade
(I used the Kroger brand)
1 package Taco Rice (Knoll brand)
I put the chicken breast into a zip up baggy and pored half the bottle over the chicken. (It is a 30 minute marinade but I let mine sit for 3 hours.)
In a medium sauce pan cook chicken with the extra marinade from the bag. (It keeps the chicken tender)
Cook rice according to package.
This a great easy dinner! It has amazing flavor and is quick to make! You can always add more chicken to feed more. I get two meals out my bottles!

Thoughts
Stephen: It's good. Wants to try different rice. (He liked the taco rice he just wants to try others.)
Codi: The chicken is so good. I am not a big meat eater but I would eat this again!
What to do different next time?
I want to try and make my own rice. I think I will take white rice and cook it like you would normally but add my own spices. Maybe just a packet of taco seasoning!
We will be eating this again. It was so quick to make with very little prep time! We have another winner from our dinner table.
