Who doesn’t like a simple recipe, and better yet all in one pot! This chicken with rice will leave you with just a knife, cutting board, and a spoon to wash. Love recipes that don’t require standing by the kitchen sink all evening. You can’t go wrong with chicken when it comes to feeding picky eaters, or any eaters. Unless they don’t eat meat, well in that case you should check out the Ratatouille.
