Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to brown the chicken before cooking it with the rice. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken instead of raw chicken. Simply add it to the pot after the rice and chicken broth.
  • For best results, use high-quality chicken broth or make your own at home.
