Frankly, I needed a quick and easy side dish to go with last night’s dinner. I have made versions of this rice dozens of times. This chicken rice recipe is so simple and so yummy. And a great replacement for “the box!”
Simple Chicken Rice
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. minced onions or shallots
- 1 c. white rice (or soaked brown rice, but you will need to increase the cooking liquid)
- 1 1/2 c. chicken stock
- 1 – 2 tsp. sea salt
Directions:
Add the butter and onions (or shallots) to a medium frying pan. I’m using shallots this time because that is what I had.
Turn the heat on medium high and sautee the onions (or shallots) until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice.
Saute the rice until slightly golden and puffed, 5 minutes or so.
Add the chicken stock and sprinkle a little salt over the top. Cover it and set a timer for 15 minutes.
Fluff the finished rice and serve! Simple and comes together in less than 30 minutes. 🙂
What’s your favorite way to serve rice?
That looks good, Kate! We like rice that’s cooked with salted water and then I mix in some butter and milk when it’s done. Heaven!
I’ll have to try using chicken broth next time. 🙂
Yum!! What kind of white rice do you use? Is it just an organic long grain or a more specialized type?
Why do you need to soak brown rice? And how do I do this?
What a simple way to dress up the rice. This was delicious! I added a pinch of turmeric for color.
