My favorite babysitter, Marilyn would make this for her family during the day for supper while us kids were there, teasing me. My mom got the recipe from her so we’ve made it during the winter and fall and stuff and it always makes me think of going to Marilyn’s house. I’ve changed a couple of ways to make it, but it’s still chicken and rice! It’s simple and it tastes really really good! Enjoy! Sorry for no pictures btw, Jon has the iPod and he set up a lock code that I don’t know.

One note: Marilyn told me yesterday that you could easily just pick up a rotisserie chicken if you wanted to make this recipe even easier. Just remove the skin and shred or whatever.

**Sorry about the bad quality of picture, I had to use my phone! :P
Enjoy everyone!
