Spanish Not Mexican Chicken And Rice Recipe

	Rml / All my dishes 6 months ago My Mother used to make this all of the time. I love the way all of the flavors meld. My kids call this the "yellow" meal. I'm not sure where my Mom found this or if she made it up. I've found a few of our "family secrets" on GR, so I'm a bit skeptical. ... More Prep:10m Cook:75m Servings:4	Rml

Ingredients

"Vigo" Yellow Rice

Chicken Breasts...(I use skinless)

Saffron Sprigs (4 to 5 stigmas)... I use more

1 can of Chicken Broth

1 can of wax beans

1 can of Chick peas (Gabanzo)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Sometimes I'll add garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes.

Water

Directions

Boil the Chicken Breasts in Chicken broth and about 2 cups of water, until the Chicken falls apart.

Cook the rice in a large skillet, instead of a pot, following the cooking directions on the back of the rice bag and using the broth from the cooked Chicken in place of water.

Add the chunked Chicken, beans and juice from the cans, to the rice.

Add the seasonings to taste.

Allow it to cook on simmer until the juice is absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender.

The rice will be on the mushy side, but the blend of flavors is very good.

I usually serve this with a simple green salad and crusty bread.

Oh, don't forget the Wine!

One more tiny little thing. I just bought a 0.06 oz McCormick Saffron for $20.00 WOW! You'd better Love Saffron!

I have a box of old yellowed recipes from newspapers and magazines that she had which were given to her by friends... Before the net.. they had TUPPERWARE parties.. and STANLEY... they went for the friendship... and to talk....

Mmm, safron makes the rice yellow and taste extra wonderful, no wonder it's so expensive. By the way, what is yellow rice? Is the rice yellow in color? Can this recipe use other type of rice and can it be cook in rice cooker?

Hi Whitejasmine.
I can't remember if I answered your question on your page ... or not. Anyway, Vigo Yellow Rice has spices with the rice. I don't have a rice cooker but you have to add ingredients as the rice is cooking so I'm not sure if the cooker would work. Please let me know if you try it :)
