Recommended Main Dishes
- Crispy chicken: My favorite way to eat rice is alongside a Cajun chicken dish. Cajun seasoning is spicy and over-stated but rounds out well with soft food like rice. One of my own time-honored recipes is found here and compliments the creaminess of the rice well.
Of course, this recipe can also be made as a main dish, as it is flavorful and filling on it's own.
