Chicken can be replaced by tuna or turkey.
U can added celery bits, pineapple bits, nuts etc if u want
time 2 minutes if u have ready ingredients.
A absloute favortie is the Puerto Rican Rice...
Arroz Con Gandules
It's easy - give it a try.
2 cups short grain rice (rinsed) - long grain will work too
4-5 cups of hot water - appx.
陆 cup ready made sofrito (or you can blend a combination of greenpeppers, cilantro, onions, tomato, sazon packets and adobo in a blender... this is what ';sofrito'; bascially is)
16 ounce can of gandules (cooked green pigeon peas)
2 tablespoons of alcaparrado (cappers and olives mixed together)
1 packet of Sazon with achiote ( Can find this at many Latin Food Stores)
1 can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons of oil
Salt %26amp; pepper to taste
In a medium size caldero (pot) add the oil, tomato sauce, alcaparrado, sofrito and sazon. Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Add all other ingredients, and enough water to cover the rice 1'; above the rice line. Start with 1 teaspoon of salt stir and keep adding and mixing well until you are satisfied with the taste. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until most of the water is absorbed. Once the water has been absorbed, stir gently from bottom to top - once or twice only, cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Stirring the rice after it has begun cooking may cause it go get sticky or ';amogollao.';
Any rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot is called ';pegao'; and is crispy and tasty and a favorite of all true Puerto Ricans. However, not everyone is skilled is making pegao - it is an art. To make great pegao make sure to use plenty of oil. Cook for about 10 minutes longer so the pegao gets crispy and keep your eye on it. Each time you cook rice - check to see how long it takes to make pegao just the way your family likes it. Finally - if you want a lot of pegao - use a bigger caldero which, of course, will have a larger bottom surface.

Good LUCK!
just about any kind of casserole is good, also pasta dishes (lasagna, etc etc) hot or cold salads........
Show up empty handed, with luck no one will notice and you'll get to eat without the stress.
Take a crockpot and buy pre-cooked frozen meatballs... add in even amounts of ketchup and grape jelly. Keep hot! Yummy!
Put a pork butt roast in your crock pot, on low for about 4 hours, put seasonings on it, including some brown sugar. After about 2 hours pour a COKE on it. After 4 hours, take it out and shredded it up. Drain the juice from the crock, return the shredded meat to the crock and add your favorite BBQ sauce, mix well, and heat through. Take to your pot luck with a bunch of buns and watch it disappear.
Deviled eggs are always a crowd pleaser and very easy. Use your food processor to whip up the filling.
For dessert Scotcharoos:
In a large pan over low heat melt:
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Cup of Light Corn Syrup (Karo)
When the melt together and come to a slow boil stir in
1 1/2 cup of smoother peanut butter
mix together, let it just start to bubble, remove from heat
Stir in 6 cups of Rice Krispies
Put that mixture in a 9x13 pan and smooth out the top and let it cool. When cool: in a smaller sauce pan over LOW heat melt together 1/2 bag of semisweet chips and 1/2 bag of butterscotch chips, when melted pour this over the bars.
Let cool and cut and serve.
These are awesome and always a big, big hit.
