I made this for our Halloween Potluck and everyone raved about it. I did make 2 changes however, I used Trader Joes Brown Rice Trilogy for the instant rice and cooked it 40 minutes(it is not an instant)and I left out the chicken(accidently put chicken in freezer night before). I am sure it would be even better with the chicken. This is a definite keeper and a great make ahead recipe. Thanks Secret.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
