Save time and money by making a large batch of Chicken and rice.

Wrap it up into individual servings so you can take it to work for lunch.

This recipe is made with brown rice because it is so much healthier than white rice.

This is a good dish to make for elderly friends and family who live alone. They can heat up 1 serving at a time.

You can substitute other vegetables if you choose: cabbage, bell peppers, zucchini, etc...
