Cooking instruction summary:

Place the chicken in a large stock pot. Add the salt and pepper and then cover it with the water (you'll want it to come to about an inch above the chicken). Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat a little and let it simmer until done (at least 30 minutes-- you can check the INTERNAL temperature of the chicken after resting for a minute-- it should read at least 165).Lift the chicken from the stock and set it on a cutting board to rest and cool.Use a slotted spoon to fish any bits of skin etc that might still be in the stock. Then bring the pot back to a boil. Add the brown rice, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.Stir and then add the Arborio rice and the herbs.Continue cooking, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the liquid is absorbed. If the rice is not done when the liquid is gone (brown rice takes time), add a little water, stir, and continue cooking.While the rice cooks, remove the skin from the chicken. Pull the meat off the bones and shred it with your fingers OR coarsely chop it with a knife.Add the chicken back to the rice mixture, stir, and when the rice is cooked through serve!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
