Chicken and Rice

This recipe brings back fond memories of home for me. I remember my mom would often make it when she was bringing a meal to a family in need. She told me one time that she liked making this dish because it was a simple dish that most people had tasted but not with chicken in it. I often crave this dish on a cold day or when I'm not feeling well. I usually bring this dish to others in need as well. One great thing about it is it makes a lot and is great as leftovers.
