COOKING ON THE FLY, CHICKEN AND RICE ONE POT MEAL
I was starting to make RR's Chicken Cacciatore "stoup" but realized I had no mushrooms or spinach... I was then thinking of Jambalaya, but realized that I had already used the andouille sausage that I thought was in the freezer.... I like "arroz con gandules" but wanted something to eat for dinner not just have as a side dish...so I put this together and it came out terrific... what a way to stretch a pound of chicken to feed a crowd! (p.s. feel free to substitute the zucchini or just use one green or one red bell pepper. I only used what I had on hand)

Steps:
- Preheat a large pot over medium/high heat, add olive oil and chicken and brown chicken well on all sides.
- Remove chicken from pot with a slotted spoon and add all copped vegetables (except canned tomatoes). Sautee' vegetables and garlic about 3-4 minutes until they begin to wilt.
- Add thyme, canned tomatoes (I usually just squish them in my hands out of the can right into the pot) drained beans, chicken broth, vinegar and rice.
- Bring to a boil, stir and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook on low for 20 minutes, stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking. Allow to rest with the lid on about 5 minutes before serving.
- Heap into bowls and serve with a nice salad on the side and enjoy your one pot dinner!

CHICKEN POT PIE ON THE FLY
This is a favorite of my family, and I NEVER have leftovers. After endless searching for a quick, easy and flavorful Pot Pie recipe, I gave up and created my own. Cooking time is greatly reduced as the chicken and filling are hot before being placed in the oven. This can be used as a base recipe and is open to endless modifications. We prefer chicken breast but dark meat, turkey, and pork also taste wonderful. Also, using less meat will not detract from the flavor. For thicker sauce, use a cup or a jar of gravy instead of broth. Seasoning measurements are approximate. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken liberally. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are a good starting point, but you can also experiment with other spices and herbs.
- Cook Chicken Thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent foodborne illness.
- Let Chicken Rest: After cooking, let your chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: Don't just stick to one cooking method for chicken. Try roasting, grilling, pan-frying, or stir-frying to add variety to your meals.
