The unsung hero of this recipe is in fact the rice. In this context "dirty" actually refers to the addition of meat and seasoning to rice – coined in New Orleans, Louisiana – the home of Creole cuisine. Creole food blends West African, French, Spanish, Amerindian, Haitian influences and is responsible for some of the tastiest dishes around – dirty rice being one of them. Our Asian inspired garlic shredded chicken cuts through the lavishness of the rice for an irresistibly complex taste with easy preparation.
