Spicy Chicken With Red Rice

This is a dish my grandmother used to make that I enjoyed while growing up and even today. It's quick and simple so what more can you ask for? The chicken has just enough zing to it to give nice flavor and the rice is just delicious. The measurement for the chicken rub is all done by eye for me but I will do my best to give approximate measurements.


Ingredients for Rice:
1 cup uncooked white rice (long grain)
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper/cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz tomato sauce (or juice from plummed tomatoes)
2-4 chopped plum tomatoes
Cooking oil

In deep pan heat oil and toast rice.

Then add garlic and onions and cook until tender

Add remaining ingredients and cook until rice is done


Ingredients for Spicy Chicken:
2 Chicken Breasts
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

**Note** These measurements are approximate. I individually seasoned the chicken breasts just by sprinkling the ingredients on the breasts and then rubbing them in. You can use more or less of these ingredients depending on your taste.

Rub the chicken breasts with the seasoning and put on a grill (the little George Forman ones work to) or fry until done and serve over rice.
