You just spoke to my heart!
Cafe Rio make me happy
This was an amazing recipe. Instead of instant rice, I used 2 cups of parboiled rice and 4-1/2 cups of water. There was lots of rice leftover to eat with a different meal.
Does anyone have the Cafe Rio mild sauce recipe to go with this awesome chicken? Thanks!
Aaaah. Cafe Rio. I miss it. I crave it. I want to start a franchise right here but my husband isn't as interested as I am. I think I have the Pork recipe somewhere in my collection. YUM!
