In reply to janetfctc. It is "one of those things", Janet. You said it perfectly.

Chicken and rice is one of my favorite comfort foods when I’m not feeling well. It’s just “one of those things” that seem to be a culinary glue for so many, isn’t it? And your version sounds absolutely delicious!

In reply to crayolaj74. Aww, I'm so glad your family had a nice dinner. Chicken and Rice just hits the spot sometimes. I had the last bit of ours for lunch yesterday.

Made this today in Tennessee…it got cold again on us and my husband is suffering from a broken toe. Hoping it will heal that quickly! This was so good, everybody went back for seconds. Thank you! 🙂

In reply to Maureen | Orgasmic Chef. Maureen, The two that caught the bug are on the mend. They both ate chicken and rice tonight. We're hoping the other two don't wake up in the middle of the night sick. It's probably rotavirus. That stuff burns a path of destruction wherever it goes.

I remember when I was growing up there was always someone in the church who was sick and from the pulpit the priest would ask for women to call the church office to choose a day to bring them food. (always women)

We don’t do that as much unless it’s a catastrophic illness but we should do it anytime someone is under the weather. I’d place the dish on the steps and ring the bell at your daughter’s house. 🙂 That stomach bug passes along like crazy. Hope they are all well soon.

Adam,

My husband and I ate it tonight and we’re not sick or invalids, either. This is something my family enjoys anytime I cook it. Good news is that all the sick people were able to eat it. 🙂

Jackie – You hit the nail on the head about food blogs being personable (and personal in may cases). There are occasionally some cookbooks that seem … human. One that comes to mind is called ‘It Rains Fishes’ by Kasma Loha-unchit. Though it’s a fantastic read, it is a very targeted cookbook (Thai cuisine). So, maybe there’s some hope. — Your chicken and rice, by the way, is calling my name (even though I’m neither sick nor an invalid). 😉
