My chicken and rice

This is the dish that inspired me to create a blog about my culinary adventures. understand the frustration of trying to cook and create tastebud tingling works of art but they come out as a dud or looking like something even the creature from the black lagoon wouldn't eat. Well my friends the time has come for our friends to stop having to be polite and forcing our dishes down their throats. I can promise you with this blog I will post my own disasters and triumphs so you can gain skills and learn as I do. Well heres my dish that I created today. I love it because Its large and can be used many different ways (which save me money!!!)


Ingredients (I apologize about my measurements)
2/3 Campbells V8 red pepper soup
1/2 a yellow onion chopped up
Rice(add it porportionally to where the liquid covers the rice)
3 cloves of garlic chopped
Water(add as needed)
1/2 a thing of cream cheese
1 medium sized can of corn
A spice of some sort( chilli pepper or tace seasoning package) ONLY A PINCH


How to put it all together
Put the red pepper soup in a large pan with some water, add the corn and  last but not least add the rice (the more rice you have the more water you will need).Stir and turn the heat on low. While that is slowly heating chop up the garlic as small as you can with out chopping your fingers off( blood is never a good mix to any recipie unless your a vampire). Chop up the onion don't forget to cut of the stem part and pull the brown skin off. Put a little bit of oil in a small frying pan and throw the onion and garlic in. Saute them (this is pretty much just heating them up and getting all the good flavors out of them mmm) until the onion is transparent.(dont rev up the heat too much it makes it burn quick and you can get grease in your eye) If you like add some spices here to both the red pepper mix and the garlic mix. I added chilli pepper because i'm a whimp and can't handle spicy food. Once you have sucessfully sauted the onions and garlic add to the mix try not to add the grease we don't want a hert attack on our hands. Now chop up the chicken and add to the rice mix. Turn up the heat and add the chicken. Cover with a lid and let it come to a rapid boil. MAKE SURE YOU ARE STIRRING THE CONCOCTION THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS ECSPECIALLY NOW.  After the dish comes to a boil take off the lid and check to see if the rice is crunchy or not. If not your dish is done. If its still crunchy then you may need to add a little water or just let it heat a little more. After you get the rice soft add the cream cheese to the dish.
SERVE and ENJOY!!!


Changes you could do to the recipie add a can of diced tomatos and possibly switch out the cream cheese for regular shredded cheese.I would have loved to try it with these two ingredients but i was working with what I had on hand. This recipie is my own creation of which I am very proud of since it actually tasted and looks decent. I also like the fact that I could probably use this as a side dish, a filling for a burrito or taco and I could even just eat it as is. One dish becomes many and saves me some time, money and energy.
