Answer 2

Spanish Rice
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons yellow onions, chopped
1 cup rice, white, long grain
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 cup water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
3 dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pinch black pepper
1 Roma tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons green bell peppers, chopped

Preparation:

In a saucepan that has a tight fitting cover, melt the butter and sauté the onions until soft. Add the rice and stir to coat the rice with butter, then add the tomato juice, water, bouillon cubes, pepper sauce, chili powder, and black pepper.

Stir to dissolve the bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Once the liquid reaches a boil, reduce heat to its lowest setting, cover, and go away for 25 minutes.

Do not stir, do not look under the lid, do not worry !!

Once your timer goes off, remove the pan from the heat, lift the lid off quickly and throw in the tomatoes, and chopped peppers and put the lid back on quickly.

Do not stir, do not taste, do not worry !! Allow the rice to steam in the pan for 20 more minutes.

Now... If you didn't cheat and if you didn't worry, your Spanish rice should be perfect. Stir in the tomatoes and peppers and serve with a smile. If you did cheat...Well, Shame on you !!!

Answer 5

I love the corn on the cob recipe my Brazilian neighbor gave me.

On a piece of heavy duty foil, spray a bit of Pam coating. Clean and wash fresh corn on the cob. Roll the corn in a dish of parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the cob with finely chopped jalapeno peppers. Place the corn on the foil and wrap tightly. Grill the corn as you cook the chicken.

Answer 6

put a little extra water when you are cooking it, then drain the water and use it in your water to make rice. Corn with diced tomatoes, bell pepper and onion with a little chili powder is good, and refried beans are always a yummy side dish. you could make some cheese quesidillas (sp?), or...ooohhh...lipton makes many great rice or pasta side dishes

Answer 7

I would go with something simple if you want to put the emphasis on the chicken... If you want the chicken to stand out then dont over do your sides... personally i would do grilled squash and peppers and or maybe some steamed broccoli

Answer 8

You might also consider sweet side dish, especially if your chicken is spicy, like a fruit salad or cut up mango or pineapple.

Answer 9

Hm, perhaps something like a cilantro/cucumber salad?

Answer 10
