4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle Lawrys Baja Chipotle Marinade or Lawrys Mesquite Marinade
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked long grain rice (not instant)
1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Southwest Seasoning
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 container Mexican Queso (I used Gordos Cheese Dip)
chopped tomato

Pour Lawrys Baja Chipotle Marinade over chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight. When ready, grill chicken until done (165 degrees). While the chicken is grilling prepare the rice. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until puffed and golden. While rice is cooking, sprinkle with salt and Southwest Seasoning. Stir in onion flakes, tomato sauce and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Heat cheese dip according to package directions set aside. To assemble the Pollo Loco - place 1/4 of the rice on a plate, top with grilled chicken. Pour 2-3 Tbsp cheese dip over chicken and rice and top with chopped tomatoes.
