My friend Amy made this delicious chicken and rice dish when I took Our Gluten Free Family on the road while our kitchen was being renovated. The brown rice cooks in a stock with onions and peppers and tomato so it ends up being creamy like risotto but having the yummy flavors of a burrito. I was so impressed by her gluten free dish I had to post it, even though I haven’t actually made it yet.
