I have put chicken in this as well as diced up chunks of ham. Both versions are really good and each addition makes it very hearty and filling for a complete meal rather than just a side dish. It can be eaten as a meal as a side dish though, it’s good enough. The rice makes it hearty so that you can walk away satisfied too.
