Mexican Style Chicken and RiceI lived and worked in Mexico for a number of years. During my stay in Mexico I was introduced to Mexican style cooking. One of my favorite dishes was cooked rice and chicken. Over the years I have revised the way I cook this dish. Now that I live in French Polynesia Tahiti it is difficult to find all the ingredients. Therefore, I have come up with a new recipe that is simple to make and easy to find all the ingredients.

  30. Place the pieces of browned chicken on top of the rice. Reduce the heat to low or simmer. Cover the wok and simmer slowly for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Dont stir the rice and chicken while cooking. I dont have a cover for my wok so I use the splatter screen and a cover from one of my Dutch ovens.

A simple, delicious main dish with Spanish rice, chicken, chilies, and cheese. Best when served with heated flour tortillas.
