Southwest BBQ Chicken and Rice Bowl - The Kreative Life

Even though I’ve moved almost every three years since I’ve been born (military family) and have lived in many states and countries, I consider myself a Southern girl.

It may be because both of my parents are from Mississippi or that my dad retired in Oklahoma while I was still in high school or that my husband was born and raised in Alabama or that I want to retire in Dallas (I love that city).

It’s just something about being in the south and southwest that I love. One thing I know for sure is that I love the food.

There is no other place where I can get Texas BBQ, authentic Indian Tacos, smoked turkey legs, brisket, and chicken, a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade, or pecan pie that can compare to the south. Believe me, I’ve searched.

Growing up in my house, we had to have a meat, starch, and veggies, for every dinner.

Since I’m in Colorado now and it’s very hard for me to find real authentic southern or southwestern food, I made my own.

This dish includes it all and can be served with a nice slice of cornbread. Enjoy!
