Rice and Chicken With a French Accent

[elleng]

'Somewhere in the world, a chicken is simmering. Nearby is a bag of rice. The mixture of the two is comfort food in every climate.

The idea of rice and chicken is this: Plain rice can accompany a meal, but add chicken into the mix and it becomes a meal in itself. And it’s a luxurious, rich-tasting meal at that, however homey and rustic it may be.'>>>

5. There are endless possibilities with those two main ingrediants.

Yesterday I made a simple chicken and rice soup with fresh mushrooms and thyme. The aroma was wonderful and we enjoyed a delicious soup for dinner last night. Looking forward to a sandwich and a mug of hot soup for lunch on this cold and rainy Sunday.
