R U Chicken

R U Chicken stands for Rice Under Chicken. This was a submission to RSC #8. When it was a contest recipe, there was a pepper chutney that went along with it. As it was not to the tastes of the members of my family, we chose to delete that portion of the recipe. I would suggest to go with Susie D's suggestion and serve with salsa and/or sour cream. I agree that it may need "something".
