Miracle Mango Salsa Chicken

 Yet another Pioneer Woman meal, from a show about recipes with only 3 ingredients (salt,pepper and oil don't count). I loved both the chicken and the rice and will definitely be making both again!  I used chicken broth instead of water.

Ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 16-ounce jar mango salsa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

Directions
1 Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2 Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and sear the chicken thighs until browned well, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
3 Add the rice, 1 1/4 cups water and 1 cup of the mango salsa. Stir and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the top of the rice, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken and rice are cooked through, 17 to 20 minutes.
4 Serve up a pile of rice, topped with the chicken and garnished with additional mango salsa.
