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.

This sounds good and so easy! It reminds me of a dish we had growing up, my mom would put all these things in a casserole dish and it could come out delish!
