We celebrated my son's return home Thursday night by going out for dinner, and we finished off the leftover wings last night. Tonight I went a little ethnic and made a Latin favorite, but I have to admit, though I am half Latina, this was my first time making Spanish Chicken and Rice.

I used the directions on the rice package as a jumping point and kept it simple and fast. Everyone in the family approved, even fussy 5yo! Definitely a keeper, and seriously, you can't get much simpler than this! Serve with a salad and you have a well balanced meal in minutes!
