Butterbean Chicken Rice


My dear hubby always made me this butterbean and chicken stroganoff which I truly love and I must say I can not replicate his dish. He adds the hubby touch to it which no one can copy. So I told him I will make my version of his dish and he loves it so much he told me to share it on my page with everyone. It is enough for 4 people or like us we have it for dinner and lunch the next day. You don’t need to add the rice to the dish if you don’t want to. You can serve the rice seperate and spoon the saucy yumminess over your rice as much or little as you want. It takes about an hour and a half from start to finish but it is so worth it and comforting. Enjoy making this recipe your own.
