This was quite delicious, especially considering how simple it is to prepare. I did use saffron because we really like it. And I used regular white rice (because I don't use instant rice), and it worked out quite nicely. The melding of all the ingredients worked quite well in this dish. We ended up with a nice side dish of Spanish Rice to go along with the chicken. I will remember this recipe in the future for any Spanish-themed dinner because it was wonderful and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Queen Dana. Made for ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal.

I asked my DH what I would like to eat this evening. As he said "something with rice", I filtered (looking under "arroz") the all user ZWT7 recipes for Central/South America.<br/>I saw this recipe and your name. This was a great choice.<br/>I never had instant rice; I prepared this with common rice and some more broth.<br/>Dana, Thanks for your recipe!

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
