Chicken & Rice

I love to cook for my family and with my family. One of my good quick meals is Chicken & Rice.

Ingredients:
chicken tenderloins or boneless skinless chicken breast
1- 26oz can of cream of chicken
2 cups of chicken broth
2 cups of water
3 cups of rice
1 bag of Parmesan & Mozzarella cheese

To start with you need to put your chicken on a plate season with garlic and chicken seasoning or whatever seasoning you like for your chicken. I don't use salt because the broth has salt in it. Now let your chicken marinade for about an hour at least in the fridge.


After your chicken has marinated good put your chicken in a pot and pour the 2 cups of chicken broth in then the two cups of water in. Add more of your preferred seasoning remember you don't need any extra salt. Let your chicken boil down for at least 30 to 45 minutes to make sure it is cooked through and through.
Drain your chicken an let rest on a clean plate so you don't cross contaminate.



While your chicken is resting you can make a pot of rice using the 3 cups of rice. I usually just clean my rice 3 times then pour water in my pot till my knuckle on my index finger. Then I add a pinch of vinegar. I let all my water boil out then put a lid or plate on top of the rice put my fire on low and let simmer for at least 20 minutes.


By this time our chicken can be shredded into chunks. Now we add them to a clean pot with the rice and the cream of chicken let it simmer for about 10 minutes.


Now that dinner is served you can add a few sprinkles of the Parmesan & Mozzarella Cheese on top.

I serve this with garlic bread and sweet tea but then again I'm from the South its all up to your taste.
Enjoy..
