Editors Review

Is there anything more rustic than a Spanish Arroz? The nicely roasted chicken, vegetables and spices with the tender, slightly sticky rice is definitely a comfort meal for many. Don't let the ingredient list fool you, this Spanish style rice with chicken dish sounds very simple to make and almost impossible to mess up!
