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

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
