"I am restricted to a low salt diet and one night my wife and I were desperate for something new. And everyone knows how hard it is to think up new ideas for dinner let alone make it low salt. So I created this simple dish and it came out perfect the first time. Enjoy."

evenly place chicken strips over top of rice mix making sure they are half in and half out of the rice mix. almost like the chicken pieces are swimming.
evenly pour diced tomatoes over top of entire dish.

I am in the Air Force. I'm married and have 2 kids. I am in to Harleys and cooking. The main reaso n I'm here is because I have a kidney problem that restricts me to a low sodium diet. Since I love to cook I thought I would share some recipes.
