My Grandpa always made this chicken and rice dish called Chicken and Rice Roger because it was cheap and delicious. I took his original recipe and tweaked it to have a Mexican flair but still keep it frugal for feeding a large family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Instructions

Hey Christine! Any suggestions to adapt this to an instant pot instead of the oven? I have no AC so the oven is off limits for me in the summer 🥵
This was really good just have to cut down the spice for my taste.
