Last week was a bit of a blur. My grandfather was in and out of doctor appointments and then spent 2 nights in the hospital due to pneumonia. My mom is still layed up from her surgery over a week ago on her leg so needless to say, it’s been a little crazy here. There are some behind the scene DIY projects going on that we will be sharing throughout April but in the meantime, here is a fantastic chicken and rice dinner that I made for everyone a couple nights ago.
Tip: use a meat tenderizer mallet to tenderize your chicken breast.

This is a quick and easy dinner that everyone will love. There are so many variations of chicken and rice, this one just happens to be my mom’s favorite. I made a dish of this for my grandfather the first night he got home from the hospital and he was so grateful. He is happy to be home :). Be sure to checkout my mom’s chicken and dumpling recipe and chicken casserole. You won’t be disappointed!

Is the rice cooked or raw Jessica? This recipe sounds so easy and good!
