Hope you have a fun party.
by the way, tag!
I really enjoy recipes with rice and if it's kind of sticky, covered with flavors from other ingredients, even better!
Yes - I think chicken would work just fine in this recipe. I may try it that way next time actually!
Rachel - I actually sliced a boneless pork loin for this. I had one left over from the BBQ pork loin I made the other day and decided to just use it for this recipe! It worked fine for what I needed it for.
