I was taking spanish lessons and wanted to make a spanish dish. The rice was so very good and the chicken was flavored all the way through. My husband love it, I'm going to make it on our anniversary.

I made this one night after work, the rice was the flavorful rice I have ever had. My family ate it up. I will make this again.
