Yiayia's Chicken and Rice

"I grew up with this recipe and because I make it often never realized how simple this would be for others to make. It is a favorite in our house, hope it becomes one in yours. It is a one dish wonder! amounts can vary for taste or serving size. I make extra even though only 3 of us here so I have it for lunch or leftovers. Freezes well."

  1. Thank you for sharing your quick and easy recipe. We enjoyed this subtle flavored rice. Made for Aussie Swap 01/10 :)
     
  2. I don't know what i did wrong but some of the rice was overcooked and some was still hard, not so nice. Even though I stirred it around once.. But i like the idea so I will probably try again some time!
     
  3. Excellent - my kind of recipe! Very similar to one I too grew up with and have used for years and years. Now I have it down on paper for my family cookbook! Used three large cloves of garlic and followed through as posted. Served with a green salad made for a wonderful meal.There will be plenty of reruns on this one.Thank you for sharing.
     
  4. just wonderful! I used 6 "lovely legs" skinless drumsticks. added a little parsely. it took 1.5 hours, but the result was worth the wait. feeling lazy, I just served with garlic bread.

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /><br />I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile!&nbsp; We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives.&nbsp; We are so proud of them!<br /><br />I want to say <strong>THANK YOU</strong>&nbsp; <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing />&nbsp; to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. <br /><br />I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT <br /><br />I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! <br /><br />My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. <br />My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! <br /><br />Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg
