Muy Sabroso!
This dish was the culinary highlight of a recent 50-mile outing. The chicken, rice, and peas are nicely flavored and the proportions are generous. Since it lacks seafood I would consider adding spicy dried shrimp for an authentic and delicious meal. With a little imagination, you can live without hauling the traditional flat, round serving tray into the backcountry.
