Just a couple of changes... I added extra chicken and made the recipe as a main meal with a riata type side. Delicious! I would swear that I had every rice available in this country right up until I started to cook when I discovered that I was out of converted rice. I subbed Basmati and we were very happy with the results. Tjhis is going in my 'Tried and true' file. Thanks for posting it! Made for World Tour 2019

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
