One Pot Winter Vegetables Chicken and Rice
This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own.
At this time of year, we all get invited to a lot of big holiday parties. Lots of people, lots of food, lots of bustle. They’re fun, but there’s so much going on that you never get much time to chat with any one person.
But then there’s the other kind of holiday gathering: the small, cozy kind. Maybe it’s just your immediate family and one or two relatives who have arrived ahead of the crowd on Christmas Eve. Or maybe it’s a little dinner party with a couple of close friends. Either way, it’s a much more intimate setting, with plenty of time to enjoy good food and good conversation.
