My Spanish mother in law makes a great chicken and rice. My kids love it, but hers can be time consuming, so I came up with a quick version made from things I can keep on hand and then throw together for a quick dinner. Read more You can used frozen or canned carrots and peas, and leftover cubed potatoes or canned--doesn't matter, the kids usually like it no matter what you use. Oh, leave out the olives if the kids won't eat them, but they're really good--maybe they can pick them out, lol. This needs no extra seasoning because all of the flavorings are in the rice mixes.
