It's off the Taste website, if you do a search for it there there's lots of comments from people about changes they've made to it as well and lots of people adjust the cooking time or the rice can be a bit crunchy.
I just made a chicken casserole with leek, carrot and celery sweated in a pan. Chook added and browned in with it. Add a can of condensed chicken soup and a smidge of water. Boil until chook is cooked and tender. Serve with rice.
Mmmm, you girls are all making me hungry!! I don't have many ingredients, so can't make anything fancy . But i think I'll be storing some of these recipes for later!
