COMPANY CHICKEN AND RICE



Company Chicken and Rice image

Created this 40 years ago, rice was cheap and filling and we were broke! It turned out to be one of the overall family favorites and was made for special occasions and "Company". I still get requests to make it. It can be made totally from scratch or with shortcuts, like canned chicken broth and a rotisserie chicken.
