BBQ French bread pizza!

We had some French bread in the freezer so I sliced it in half lengthways and took out some of the bread and then brushed on some Memphis King BBQ sauce from PS Seasoning

Then I topped with rib meat, pickles, more sauce and shredded cheddar from Tillamook County Creamery Association

Cooked in the oven on 400 until cheese reached optimum meltiness level.

This easy one pot recipe for Chicken Perloo will have your entire family fed and happy!

Recipe below but let me give you some facts about Riceland:
Grown right here in the US by family farmers
Has been a farmer owned coop for over 100 years!
Non-GMO and gluten free
Riceland rice is so versatile and can be used in a wide variety of dishes!

Growing up on a family farm that raised rice, it has always been important to me. Using rice in dishes I make allows me the opportunity to not only share good food but also share stories about growing up on a farm.

Recipe for Chicken Perloo (adapted from Rodney Scott)

¼ cup olive oil
6 celery stalks in 1/4" pieces
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 large yellow onion chopped
3 tbsn minced garlic
1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
2 tspn of your favorite BBQ rub
1 tspn kosher salt
6 cups chicken stock
1 cup Riceland long grain white rice
½ of a cooked chicken. I smoked this chicken but a rotisserie chicken would also work great
1 bunch of green onions sliced for garnish

Heat up oil in a heavy pot
Once heated up, cook onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic until the veggies are translucent. About 15 min on med heat

After veggies have cooked, add tomatoes, salt and BBQ Rub and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the veggies start to caramelize

Once water has evaporated, add chicken stock and bring to a boil

Add chicken and 1 cup Riceland rice

Transfer to 350 degree preheated oven and cook uncovered for 20-30 min until rice has cooked through

Serve in a bowl and garnish with green onion

Did not get a picture but had a great breakfast at The Root this morning. Biscuits and gravy with two medium fried eggs and a side of Rabbit Ridge Farms sausage. Service was amazing and the food was excellent!
