AWESOME RICE-A-RONI SALAD
I have been making this delicious rice salad for years. The pages to my little community cookbook where I found this recipe is starting to fall apart from so much use. Anyway, this recipe is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it, too.

RICE A RONI SALAD
This is a great dish to serve when it's too hot to cook and you want a main dish salad for dinner. You can add shrimp or chopped crab or lobster instead of the chicken. I sometimes add a green or red pepper to the mix.

Steps:
- Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
- Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
- Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
- Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
- Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
- Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
- Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Add protein to your salad. This will make it a more filling and satisfying meal. Some good options include diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Use a flavorful dressing. This will help to bring all of the flavors of the salad together. Some good options include a vinaigrette dressing, a creamy dressing, or a Greek yogurt dressing.
