As winter sinks its icy fangs into our lives this week, so must we sink our fangs into something fulfilling and comforting. This baked chicken and rice will ward off the sting of winter for at least a small spell.
The recipe calls for either Alpha Rub or Home Run. I have used each on their own in this recipe and either are tasty. If you are looking for something traditional, go with Alpha. If you are craving something a bit more flavorful, go with Home Run.
Either will offer respite from the harshness of the cold.
Profitez!
