Chicken & Summer Vegetable Spanish Rice

Chicken & Summer Vegetable Spanish Rice
By Susan Stolz

Chicken with lots of Summer Veggies and Uncle Ben's
Instant Rice is a family favorite. (Eliminate the chicken
and it is a tasty vegetarian dish.) I use a turkey roaster
and make a lot!

1/4 cup of Olive Oil (really depends on the size of the pot)
4 large cubed chicken breast (BLSL) or 3 - 5 pounds of
chicken wings if you aren’t concerned with fat
1 large onion diced
1 each red and green bell peppers
2 each large green and yellow zucchini
5 - 6 plum tomatoes diced
3 cloves of fresh garlic sliced thin
1 can stewed tomatoes (just to be sure!)
2 to 3 cups Uncle Ben’s Instant Rice (depends on how
much liquid you have created)

Spices: lots of cumin, salt, pepper and garlic
Salt to taste

After preparing the chicken, I sprinkle it with cumin and let it set while I cut up all the veggies. Saute chicken (for vegetarian start with veggies) for about 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic, another 5 minutes. Add green and red peppers. Seasonings (including more cumin) - cover and simmer another 5 minutes. Add rest of the veggies and stewed tomatoes. Season again - cover and simmer about 30 minutes. Taste the liquid and add seasoning if needed. Add Uncle Ben's Instant Rice and in 5 minutes your ready to serve.
