<\/a>Marie-Inspired Chicken and Rice<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n 1 rotisserie chicken, cut up and bones and skin discarded 1\/4 c. toasted slivered almonds and\/or pine nuts<\/p>\n 1.) Strip chicken from bones, discard skin. Chop or shred into bite-size pieces.<\/p>\n 2.) In small saucepan, heat chicken stock.<\/p>\n 3.) In a large pot, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and ground beef until no longer pink. Add garlic.<\/p>\n 4.) Stir in spices and salt, cook for a minute, and then add rice and stir so that the raw rice gets well-coated and combined. (If you like a spicier dish, you may add cayenne pepper or chili flakes.)<\/p>\n 5.) Add hot chicken stock, stir to combine, and then turn down heat to simmer. Cook about 20 minutes–checking occasionally–until rice is cooked and stock is absorbed.<\/p>\n 6.) Add the chicken and nuts and simmer a few minutes longer.<\/p>\n This one pot meal is perfect to bring to a sick friend, a starving pregnant woman, or anyone in need of food for the soul.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fall.
