Chicken and Rice

This meal is one of my family's favorite meals.  My daughter will eat just about anything as long as it is mixed with rice.  Broccoli is the most common veggie I put in my chicken and rice, and my daughter doesn't seem to notice.  It is a cheap, inexpensive meal that is filling and tasty!

One cup of chicken is about the amount you get off a chicken leg.  I normally use dark meat for this recipe.

Make too much? Chicken and rice can be saved and heated the next day for a quick meal.
