I hope I'm not going to weird anybody out by posting a recipe on my LJ. Well, not too much, anyway. I just had this for dinner.

The tale behind the recipe )

1 package Vigo yellow rice mix
cooking oil
~8oz boneless chicken, diced
2 ribs celery, chopped
~2 tbsp. chopped onion
pinch of oregano
~2 oz (dry weight) sliced black olives
1 14.5 oz. can no-salt-added whole kernel corn
1/2 11 oz. can La Preferida whole chipotles in adobo sauce

Prepare rice mix according to package directions. While rice is simmering for 20 minutes, saute the chicken, celery, onion, and oregano. Add the olives after the chicken is getting cooked. Dice the chipotles. Add the corn to the chicken. Add the rice, which should be done now, to the chicken, and the chipotles and half of the adobo sauce that came with the chipotles. Stir it all together and enjoy!

Note: I give the brand names on the rice mix and the chipotles because, while there are other brands available, in the case of the rice mix I don't know how similar another brand would taste, and in the case of the chipotles, I don't know how spicy other brands would be.

I'm pretty happy about how this tastes. The one thing I'd like to do if I can is to wean it away from the Vigo rice mix, because the mix has a lot of salt -- I don't add any other salt to the mix, and use no-salt corn, and it's got plenty -- and because the rice mix has MSG. But I'm not sure what's involved in making something that will taste as good.

I suppose the dish could use a name, too.
