Great company (unexpected) chicken and rice!!and reasonable quick too. I only had chicken breast halves and used the very last of the oregano from the garden, also used the juice from the canned tomatoes instead of the puree, as suggested. The company gave it rave reviews! it was very good,the paprika gave it all such a nice colour, served with lemon sauced brocolli, which seemed to compliment it. Thanks for sharing!!
