Fresh Salsa over Spiced Chicken and Rice

Dan and I were thinking of just cooking an easy dinner last night, so he came up with making Spanish-style rice.  We bought some fresh vegetables for the salsa, and he cooked up the chicken with a delicious combination of a spice blend from a spice shop in Chicago, some Sriracha sauce, and whatever other special ingredients he put in there.  He also cooked up some brown rice and we just made our own combination of rice, chicken, and salsa.  The only thing that really took time was chopping everything up for the salsa, but it tasted great and super fresh when it was all finished!  Below is the recipe for the salsa that we used, so just cook up some chicken and brown rice and you'll be able to put this dish together for an easy weeknight meal (With a food processor for chopping the vegetables it would be a super quick meal too)!
