Yummy 😋

Needed a way to use leftover rice, threw it together with some chicken and potatoes and thus this fantastic meal was born!

Note: this is what happens when there’s not many “rice” eaters in the fam. Most of the beans and sausage is eaten and mostly bean juice and rice is left over. That’s when the juice and rice is mixed together for another dish. #GlobalApron 2024

A dear friend of mine shared her grandma's recipe, Tatianas grandma's pink beans long ago and I posted it here. Well I fell in love with pink beans so this is for Tatiana and her grandma. Thank you for sharing so much in my life!!!

Like many people, I have a weak spot for good fried chicken. And from among the major outlets, my favourite is Popeye's. Honestly, though, it's not their delicious chicken alone that puts them over the top; it's their red beans and rice. Something about that little side dish of smushed beans and savoury sauce soaking into fluffy rice just speaks to me. So I decided to make my own. I didn't try to make an exact copy, and mine's also a little less watery than theirs (my only nitpick). But I think it came out just as delicious and comforting at the end.

I came up with this recipe during the pandemic when we were low on food and I was throwing things together alot.🤷🏻‍♀️ It worked perfectly! 😏👌 I'm not a big fan of chicken personally but my family is and anything that gets them eating rice and vegetables is ok with me! 😎👍

I won't take credit for this since I saw it on Instagram but it's very easy to make and my rice loving husband and son can't get enough.

Easy, really good, with a kick.I was looking for something easy, found a more complicated recipe, so modified it to make it easier, and use easier to get spices. Plus in our house, some like white chicken, and don't like dark, and the smart one (wink, wink) likes dark chicken, but not white meat so much. So we can handle both.Also as per the list below, this has a very light spicyness level. You would really have to not like spicy at all to ramp it down.

Was going through some old saved magazine recipe clippings, and ran across this one called American Biryani. Thought I would try it. It's pretty good. Can't wait to try it with sage and rosemary! It takes awhile but it's worth the time and effort. This recipe as is makes quite a bit, my dutch oven was about 2/3 full, I just don't recall if it is a 5 or 6 quart pot. I'm doing a half recipe next time. You shouldn't be limited to chicken, I see no reason why any meat would not work, but whatever meat you use, leave some fat on it, as the fat truly does add flavor.

This recipe is very simple to throw together and full of flavor. I remove the seeds from my jalapeno and it's not at all spicy. We like ours served with some roasted sweet potato or some cheese quesadilla wedges on the side. Recipe adapted from : Iowagirleats.com

So good, so easy!
