One-Pot Chicken and Jalapeño Soup
I’ve been asked for one-pot recipes several times now, and this one won’t disappoint! The secret ingredient? Pickled jalapeños! It adds lots of flavor, a little spice and a touch of vinegar. If you want to make lunches with this meal, I recommend cooking the rice separately and adding it to each portion. This will prevent the rice from absorbing all the broth.
