This is a Spanish recipe that has been past down my family for generations, as far as I know it's been my great, great grandmother's recipe, and a yummy one at that. 'Ros Con Pollo' translates to 'Rice With Chicken' and is a very filling meal. It can be freezed for up to 4-5 months and is best eaten warm.
