  • Once the liquid boils go to a lower heat for simmering.
  • Cover and let cook for 1-1 1/2 hours stirring every 15-20 minutes so that all the chicken is exposed to the liquid.

  • Add 2-3 cups of broth to the left over liquid to measure 4 cups liquid.
  • Put liquid back in pot and once starts boiling add the rice. You may need to add some salt to the liquid if you like your rice a bit saltier.
  • Lower stove to simmer and simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
  • Place chicken back in the pot and once the chicken is warm serve with rice.
