This is a recipe I came up with to use up a whole bunch of salsa that I made (see Leah's food processor salsa). My favorite mexican dish is Arroz con pollo, and have a hard time finding any restaurants that make it to my liking. This is a simple and delicious dish. Please note that this recipe uses rice that is already cooked.

Steps:
- in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat then add mushrooms, onion, and garlic. let cook for 2 minutes or so.
- season chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne- add to skillet, cook until chicken is brown on all sides.
- add salsa and rice stir frequently while the chicken continues to cook.
- Add chicken broth a little bit at a time, like you're making risotto(you probably won't need the whole amount of chicken broth because the rice is already cooked- the amount you need depends on what kind of salsa and rice you use).
- When chicken is cooked through and the surrounding rice is creamy, turn off heat and stir in cheese.
- Top with some chopped cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.
