Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to stir the rice occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • If you don't have chicken broth, you can use water and a chicken bouillon cube or granules instead.
  • You can use bone-in chicken instead of boneless chicken, but you will need to increase the cooking time by about 10-15 minutes.
  • If you are short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken instead of raw chicken. Simply add it to the pot with the rice and other ingredients.
  • For a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and omit the chicken.
