What's cooking: Chicken and rice.

Rainy days like these makes me reach for comfort food, food my mom would make when I used to live home, in Bonaire.

We love our plantains, we actually eat every single meal with a side of plantains.

I marinated my chicken with lemon, badia seasonings, fresh herbs from the garden a lots of garlic.

I brown them on each side and then let them cook through in the oven.

I mix a bag of broccoli slaw and diced rotisserie chicken in the already cooked white rice.

It was easy , delicious and the kids love it.
