Super Simple Chicken and Rice
January 25, 2024 • 0 comments
This recipe is in our weekly meal rotation because we love it so much! It’s super versatile; you can slow cook your favorite cut of chicken specifically for this meal, or use whatever chicken leftovers you have on hand. We prefer chicken legs above all else in our chicken and rice! You can use whatever rice your family has on hand, too. I love to cook ours in bone broth and/or drippings from slow cooking the chicken to add extra flavor and nutrients. This meal is nourishing, hearty, and so, so delicious! I hope you love it as much as we do.
