Really good!October 17, 2009By BratDawg1
"I added some tobasco sauce for kick. Used jasmine rice cooked in a tomato boullion broth and andouille from Safeway. Not the best andouille but it's what I can find out here. Can't tell if it's a mistake that there are 4 cups of chicken. I pan fried 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs in a bit of bacon fat salt & pepper and cut them up. It was enough. Freezes well."
