Years ago, I came up with my clone of a dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup broken vermicelli, 1-inch pieces
1 cup long-grain rice, such as Canilla
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken broth, butter, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, cover, then hold at a low simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a high-sided, lidded saute pan. Add the vermicelli and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the grains turn from pale white to bright white, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Carefully pour the simmering broth mixture over the rice and vermicelli. Scrape down the sides of the pan, making sure that all of the rice is submerged in broth. Bring to a low simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 more minutes.
  • Add the parsley and fluff the pilaf with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN VERMICELLI



Cream Cheese Chicken Vermicelli image

Time to indulge a little. Pasta with a creamy, cheesy, lush sauce warms up a cold winter evening. Add tender chicken breast for a completely satisfying-and very inviting-casual dinner for four. Note: The sauce may seem "soupy" at first, but it will thicken quickly as the cream cheese melts and the pasta is added to it.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces vermicelli or 6 ounces angel hair pasta
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup flour, for dredging (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup skim milk
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
6 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the vermicelli in boiling, salted water until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Place the chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly to an even thickness, about 1/3 inch.
  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  • Spread the flour on a large plate and dredge the chicken in it, shaking off excess.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden on the bottom, 5-6 minutes.
  • Turn and cook until golden on the other side and just cooked through, 4-5 minutes longer, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the shallot and wine to the pan and cook, scraping up browned bits, 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth, milk, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese and cook, stirring gently to melt the cheeses, until the sauce is creamy and slightly thick, 6-7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add the cooked chicken to the pasta and sauce and turn several times to coat.
  • To serve, divide the chicken, pasta, and sauce among 4 plates and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, tender vermicelli noodles, and crisp vegetables.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize and flavor it. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more colorful and flavorful your dish will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, broccoli, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but still slightly crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Add the noodles at the end: Vermicelli noodles cook quickly, so it's important to add them to the dish near the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken vermicelli rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken vermicelli rice is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its combination of tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and springy noodles, it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chicken vermicelli rice a try!
