It's an ancient recipe and one that Belle's father loved to cook. So, Belle cooked it today.
In a medium Dutch oven, she put in a few chicken thighs, added salt, pepper, two chicken bouillon cubes with a goodly amount of water and started it to boil. She reduced the heat to a simmer and let it go for an hour or so, to reduce the liquid and make the broth rich. Then poured in four cups of rice and left it on the stove until the rice absorbed the liquid and was tender.
Chicken n' rice. About as simple as it gets and a nice, filling lunch. There is enough left over that I can nuke some later if I want to eat something before bedtime. It's a one-pot meal too, which makes cleanup easy.
