"Chicken & Rice"

My mother made this quite often when I was growing up and it is still one of my favorite meals.

Ingredients:

  • chicken breasts (1 per person)
  • rice (about 1/2 cup per person - I like to use brown rice)
  • white onion
  • green chili
  • chicken bullion
  • salt
  • pepper
Directions:
Start cooking rice (I usually add a little salt and 1 Tbsp of butter to my rice).  Dice onion. Chop chicken into 1 inch cubes.  Saute onion and chicken until cooked on the outside.  Transfer chicken and onion to pot of rice.  Continue to cook the chicken with the rice.  Add 2 cubes of chicken bullion and salt & pepper to taste.  Wash green chili pods removing seeds and skin, then chop.  Once chicken and rice are cooked, add green chili.  Add as much green chili as you can tolerate.  :)  Serve with warm tortilla.
