okay. so.

1. make rice
2. rinse 3# of boneless, skinless chix thighs.  dust with konriko chipotle seasoning.  place in the bottom of a baking dish.  slice up one package of turkey kielbasa (low sodium if you can find it - if not, omit the konriko, and just use regular chipotle powder on the chicken).  add to the dish.  pour the following over all:
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 can chopped green chili

add diced onion, and some chopped celery.  add a bay leaf or two, and/or some oregano, if you feel up to it.

tightly cover the dish with foil.

bake in a 375 degree oven for 1.5 to 2 hours.

3. serve the chix over the rice.

That sounds good. What's konriko?

[witchypoo]

konriko is a chipotle/salt/garlic/blk pepper spice blend.  you can find it in any supermarket spice aisle.

Yum. I have a Spicy Salt blend from Penzey's that would probably work. Thanks!

When you make this you cook the rice all the way through and then cook with the chicken & juice for another 1.5 hours? Does the rice hold up?

Oh, I read it that you cooked the rice separately and put the chicken/sausage glop on top when ready to serve.

Oh, you are probably right! I was thinking of it as a chicken & rice, all in one dish, kind of thing. You are right though! I bet you could cook the chicken and rice together though- the timing would be probably be pretty close to right.
