Chicken and rice is something exceptionally nostalgic for me. I generally anticipated a major messy meal skillet loaded with gooey chicken and rice goodness.

On the off chance that you don't have a skillet like that you can observe one to be that I love down beneath the printable formula card (associate connection) or you can likewise utilize a decent estimated pot or dutch broiler with a top.
- Softening your margarine is your initial step. From that point forward, feel free to add the onion and let them cook for 2-3 minutes prior to adding your garlic. Garlic just requires 30 seconds to 1 moment to cook, and you would prefer not to add it too early or it will consume and taste severe.
- Utilize long grain rice for this formula, not minute/moment rice. In the event that you utilize speedy cooking rice, it will cook excessively fast and become soft. Any long grain rice will work!
- The majority of the cooking time for this one-pot chicken and rice is totally uninvolved. You will have around 15-20 minutes for the rice and chicken to stew. I love to set aside that effort to hack up a fast green serving of mixed greens to have as an afterthought!
