Recipe Collection: Simple Chicken Rice

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.  It is so simple and so yummy.  And a great replacement for “the box!”

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. :)

  1. 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. :-)

  2. Nicole says:

    Yum!! What kind of white rice do you use? Is it just an organic long grain or a more specialized type?

  3. Gina says:

    Why do you need to soak brown rice? And how do I do this?

  4. What a simple way to dress up the rice. This was delicious! I added a pinch of turmeric for color.

Got something to say? Go for it!
