jalapeno chicken and rice

September 2

Ok, before I forget. I stood over Georgia tonight while she made this. Here goes. Remember we like it hot and we feed an army (Beau). First she takes 2 chicken leg quarters and either boils them in a stock pot or cooks them in the crock pot with about 10 cups of water. You will need this. Here are the ingredients.

  • 4 cups uncooked rice
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapeno peppers
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2T vegetable oil
  • diced cooked chicken from leg quarters
  • 8 cups hot chicken stock
  • 8oz shredded fiesta blend cheese
  • toppings of sour cream, salsa or diced tomatoes

Put your rice, peppers, onion and oil in large deep skillet that has a lid. Cook on med high until onions transparent. Add chicken, and stock. Stir well. Cover and turn to simmer stirring occasionally until most of the liquid is absorbed. then leave covered with heat off for another 10-20 minutes. Serve with cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream and topped with fresh salsa or diced tomatoes.  Don’t forget to bless the cook.

My name is Penny Raine, you can read more about myself and my family at my everyday blog PennyRaine.com . When I was a young girl growing up I loved to cook and was determined that if  I had daughters I would teach them to cook. Well the Lord blessed us with 5 daughters and they can now cook better than I do!  They have a gift for taking a recipe and making it better than it was intended to be. We have several old cookbooks that were handwritten the way the homemakers of yesteryear used to do them. They include not only recipes but scriptures and bits of wit and wisdom. This site is on online version of just that, an old-fashioned cookbook. You will find recipes we have created and some we have improved upon. You will also find scriptures and notes here and there.

I pray that you are blessed here  and that you don’t forget to Bless the Cook!
