Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked brown rice instead of uncooked rice. Simply add the cooked rice to the skillet when the recipe calls for uncooked rice and reduce the amount of water or broth to 1 cup. Additionally, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a more flavorful and juicy dish. Finally, be sure to let the rice sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to absorb any remaining liquid and become fluffy.
