Grandma's Chicken and Rice

My sister gave me this recipe of my grandmother's to have in my collection. I guess it's one of her favorites and it is really delicious. And after making it, there is no argument there. It has in fact been voted hands down a favorite by Rob and myself and now a new comfort food to me.

Sadly, my grandmother passed when I was only 9 from cancer. I never really got to know her like my older siblings did so I rely on them to help fill me in. They tell me all kinds of stories about her and pass down things like this recipe.

I do have memories of her, like when she was teaching me how to sew. I learned to make a white with tiny blue poky dots pocket. I was so proud of myself. I also remember playing old maid with her. She had the Old Maid and the last match so she changed the cards around so much that when I picked the card, it was the Old Maid, but she was laughing and smiling while doing it.

She also taught me how to play cribbage which is a pretty fun game that Rob reintroduced into my life. He didn't know it at the time he bought the board that the last time I played was with my grandmother, so it was kind of special.

I wish that I could have had a grandmother to grow up with, but I have older siblings and that's pretty cool too. Thankfully I had a cool grandfather to grow up around, but there is no replacing a grandmother. :)
