Boiled Chicken and Rice
This is the classic Southern Boiled Chicken and Rice recipe. One taste and you'll wonder if this came straight from your granny's kitchen.
Ingredients
- see our Boiled Chicken recipe
- 3 cups long grain rice
Instructions
- Follow our Boiled Chicken recipe. After chicken is cooked, remove from the pot to cool.
- Pour about 5-6 cups of the broth into a separate pot, and stir in the rice.
- Bring the rice to just under a boil on the stovetop.
- Cover your pot and simmer for 15 minutes. Begin deboning your chicken while the rice is cooking. Save the bones - see Recipe Notes below.
- If the rice isn't done after simmering, pour in another cup of broth and stir. Cover and simmer for 5-10 more minutes. Repeat this step until the rice is done.
- Serve chicken and rice with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Save your chicken bones and remaining broth. Follow this link for instructions to prepare a rich and delicious bone broth. Alternatively, the broth prep can be done prior to preparing the rice, so that the bone broth can be used to cook the rice.
