Awesome memories. This was one of my first home cooked dishes I got off a french tv chef back in the early 80's. I cooked it once a week for 20 years.He said if you're poor, use more rice. If you're rich use more chicken. It varied over the years.
I'd forgotten all about it till this popped up.

I made this a few days ago. Let me just say I was a chef in my child's eyes that day!!! I gave some to a neighbor and I got so many compliments. It was so flavorful. I was shocked at how easy it truly was. I can't wait to try more of your recipes. All I need to do is invest in some really good pots and pans once I go back to work, and I will be trying everything you post. Thank you so much. I'm so glad I saw you on Cooking and Grilling with AB's channel. God Bless you!!

When I listen to this dude and watch him cook, I'm always expecting him to say, " And now, for our most requested slow jam of the evening..."😏 Mr.Marvin Gaye...☮️

Aye man… AWESOME recipe as usual! I’d be so stoked if you got into making African cuisine. Nigerian food 😋

I’ve tried 3 of your past recipes and just did up this chicken/rice dish. You make eating better/ living better so much easier simply by planning ahead, taking the time to prep everything and being King in the Kitchen. Definitely my go to site for easy/quality dishes. It’s easy…..

I watched this video and then turned around and made this for my family that same day. My husband loved it! He asked me how I made it and I told him I watched a video recipe for it. He told me "Keep watching those videos! That meal was ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥!!! Thank you for your videos and amazing quick recipes! I learned a lot while I was watching too!

[TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

This looks so good, and it’s convenient too because it’s one pot! Gotta make this. 😃😃

Made this for dinner tonight. That rice is the truth! I've been following a ketogenic diet for the past 3 months, but I couldn't resist. Worth breaking my regime. Absolutely delicious. Thanks!

I’ve tried this recipe before and we loved it. I needed to do something quick tonight and didn’t feel like going to the grocery store and this is such an easy meal and delicious. Glad I pulled it back up to make tonight.
