Cuban Rice

This is a good recipe to use left over chicken or any kind of left over roast.  I usually add a few shrimp at the end just to bring variety to this dish.  This recipe can easily be doubled.

• oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 of a red or green pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups of rice
• 1-7oz can of tomato sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon, dried oregano
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can of beans, your choice, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups of left over chicken
• several raw shrimp

1. In a large skillet with a lid, put in a bit of oil, onion, pepper, oregano and saute until softened.
2. Add the rice and stir.
3. Add the garlic, broth and tomato sauce, beans and bay leaf.  Cover and simmer until rice is almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
4. Add the cooked chicken and raw shrimp, cover and cook until the shrimp is pink.
