Cookware, Pots/Pants, etc. You’ll Need
Here is a list of what you’ll need to prepare this recipe:
Tips to Remember:
- Pull the chicken from the bone as soon as you get home. It’s easier to separate while warm and it saves room in the fridge.
- If there’s a choice, opt for plain instead of flavored. Although most of the flavoring is concentrated on the skin it will still lightly flavor the meat and accumulated chicken juices.
We will be updating this list periodically, so if there is a recipe you think we should add please leave us a comment with either a link or description!!

I like to make Arroz Con pollo (rice with chicken)
Its basically shredded chicken with Latin flavored yellow rice. If you willing to try it, pick up a box of Goya yellow rice, or chicken flavored. Add chopped cilantro, and canned peas and carrots before serving. That’s a speedy version of the original.
That sounds really yummy and easy, Lauren! We will definitely give it a try!
I used to like this rice myself. I have developed many autoimmune diseases and try to eat better. This yellow rice is basically a fake saffron. As real Saffron is pricey. But the worst thing is the msg and other chemicals in it. Better to make the same dish by seasoning the rice yourself. One ingredient spices have no chemicals and are actually good for you.
I made the lemony noodle recipe last night for my family. It was the blandest, most tasteless mess I have ever eaten. There was LOTS leftover and while my teenagers usual finish any leftovers before I can pack them in my lunch in the morning- no one touched these leftovers! Even I couldn’t bare to eat them and threw them out. Throwing out food is sacrilege in my home. Will not waste anymore food on your recipes!
Zoe, I’m so sorry about your bad experience!! This post is just a round-up from recipes that other people have suggsted. We haven’t made all of them, so I’ll be sure to remove this one from the list. Thanks for the input!
