Chicken & Rice: one of my faves

I just wanted to give a public shout-out to one of my lifelong favorite meals -- Chicken & Rice.I love the stuff. It's one of the few things I could stand to eat left over for several days in a row. Always has been.

First, there was my mom's: Boil and de-bone the chicken, cook the rice separately, and combine the two with a little salt & broth. Maybe she cooked the rice in broth; I don't recall.

Now my wife's which is different, but probably better: Rice in a casserole dish with a can of cream of chicken soup and some whole legs & thighs. Sprinkle salt, pepper & rosemary, cook covered w/ foil for awhile, then remove the foil and cook til it's no longer soupy.

I had it for dinner last night. I had it for lunch moments ago. I could eat it again for dinner tonight.
