Recipe | One Pot Chicken and Rice
One Pot Chicken and Rice is a savory and easy weeknights dinner, which is why I enjoy making it for my family. Although it a simple dish the addition of chicken adds a bit of excitement which also gives it an uncanny resemblance to arroz con pollo. The annatto seasoning can be found in the international aisle of your local grocery store.
