Mexican Rice with Chicken
This dish was so good my kids wiped the pot clean. I had hardly any for myself. Luckily I did taste some before it was all gobbled up. My hubby was kind enough to share his equally delicious Prawn Curry with me. I wasn’t complaining but I would have preferred the Mexican Rice with Chicken. I think this dish is enough for four people, in my case it was enough for two starving kids…Lol! Well they ate it twice in one day.
One-Pot Wonder
I cooked early for the sake of my photos but even that became a rush because as soon as they smelled food they were in the kitchen, literally waiting for me to finish my photography. Chicken on the bone is best for these kind of dishes. I also suggest you use long grain rice for this dish. We love spicy so I added a little extra spice. You can always reduce the amount if you prefer less spicy.
There’s nothing complicated about this dish so I don’t have too many instructions. I live at high altitude so I used a little extra water as everything takes longer to cook in Johannesburg. If you live at the coast you may require less water and your cooking time will probably be quicker. You can cut the peppers into julienne strips. However, if you have fussy eaters you can cut them smaller. This dish can be served with some jalapenos, a drizzle of lime juice and sour cream. Hope you love it as much as we do. Please drop me a comment if you do try it.
