Beer-Braised Chicken with Green Rice

Ok I put off making this because it didn't look that good and I got busy (as sometimes happens), but it turned out this was fabulous.  Best of the week (even over the Korean tacos).


What I liked - The flavor of the chicken was so good, just enough spice.  I know it doesn't look like much but the flavor more then made up for that.

What I didn't like - Shredding the chicken, its just a pain and certainly took longer then 6-8 minutes that I simmered the braising liquid for.

My modifications - Ok I am not sure what happened to the cilantro and oregano, maybe I misplaced it or maybe they didn't send it either way I made the rice without the cilantro and added dried oregano to the chicken instead of fresh.  I used the chicken broth instead of beer.  I think I used about half the chipotle pepper and sauce and only used half the paprika/cayenne pepper mixture, result was a spice level that was warm not hot.

Overall 4.5 stars
