Yesterday was a very frustrating day...sometime in the previous 48
hours, someone had broken into our storage room in our apartment, and
had stolen all our wine, plus numerous bags of groceries. We have never
before been robbed, and it is a very bad experience. So, yesterday, I
got a couple of chicken breasts, some rice, and here it is...comfort
food!
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup rice(I use Thai for everything)
3 cups chicken stock, make yer own, tastes better
1 tomato, skinned and choppped(baseball sized)
1 red, ripe jalapeno
1 green jalapeno
1/2 red onion
10 sprigs of cilantro
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and fresh black pepper
Get the chicken stock simmering, cut the two breasts into 8 pieces, and
put in the pot with the stock...add salt and pepper to taste, and a
clove of garlic chopped fine, return to boil and let simmer until
chicken is starting to get tender. Add the rice to simmering broth and
chicken, bring back to boil, turn down to simmer and cover for twenty
minutes. While this is cooking, in a little oil fry the onion, chopped
tomato and the chopped seeded jalapenos, with a little salt and freshly
ground pepper, and when this has reduced somewhat add the chopped
cilantro and the cumin. When the rice is done, add this veggie mixture
to the chicken and rice, and stir it all in...let this sit and
meld(combine) for a few minutes and serve, with avocado shrimp
salad....tastes wonderful. If it is not hot enuf, add a little Calvin's
to taste. Cheers, Doug in BC Note...I was fortunate in getting a few
red, ripe jalapenos....they sure taste different than green ones!
