Rice is a fairly traditional dish almost everywhere, since a large population consumes it, for example, in Spain, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, where he often used either as a main course or as a companion to other preparations.
The recipes with this ingredient vary from one place to another, taking into account the typical culture and gastronomy, it is enough to incorporate different spices, meats, vegetables, grains or sauces, and a delicious recipe will be created.
I want to share a delicious recipe for rice with chicken, which is one of my favorite Colombian recipes. It reminds me of the great moments of my childhood. At home, they used to prepare it very often, especially on particular dates or family celebrations. A great memory is when my mother made the chicken, cutting it into small pieces, marinating it, letting it cook, and then inviting her children to help her get rid of it.
This recipe for chicken rice is also quite popular in Colombia since its preparation is a great excuse to gather families, to tell stories and anecdotes around the table, enjoying this delicious dish full of tasty flavors.
I hope you can prepare this delicious dish, especially permeating enough love and following the step by step. I am sure it will be a delight for your family and will bring with it many memories as it has brought them to me.
