Ryan's Review: Just like Nicaragua. Brace yourselves for an ethnic delight (he's a dork).
Renee's thoughts: This was SO good. I did things a little different though. While the chicken was marinating I made the back beans. I then put on the rice. When I knew the rice only had about 8 minutes, I did the chicken. It was so easy and so yummy. we loved it, and so did Isabel.
