Spanish Chicken Rice

---

This is a recipe that i found in one of those cookbook's that you buy at the checkout counter. i've made a few changes based on our tastes. the recipe as written calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts, but i usually use boneless skinless chicken thighs as prefer them over chicken breast. if you sub regular rice for the brown rice, you will need to adjust your cooking time.
