Chicken and Yellow Rice is a classic dish from my childhood. My grandmother made one version and my mom made a slightly different on. My recipe is a combination of the two I grew up with. Instead of using prepackaged Vigo seasoning or a Vigo yellow rice package, I use my own homemade saffron yellow rice seasoning.

Chicken and Yellow Rice is one of those all afternoon ones. So be prepared for it to take a long time. At the end of the recipe I have included some tips one of which will save you some time if you choose to use it.

Tips:
  • Use 1/2 of the chicken meat and save 1/2 of the chicken meat for another meal.
  • Save the chicken bones for stock.
  • Save any skin, fat, or yucky parts for your pets.
  • Use a roasted chicken instead. De-bone and use half of the roasted chicken meat. I do this a lot now as it saves time.

How do you like your chicken and yellow rice?

Have a great day!
