This is a small but tasty and easy recipe that uses leftover chicken. I like the fact that it does not have any canned creamed soup in it. I usually serve it in a bowl along with Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits Copycat. Enjoy:)

Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: Different types of rice require different cooking times and methods. For example, long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, cooks more quickly than short-grain rice, such as sushi or arborio.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice helps to remove excess starch, which can make the rice gummy. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use to cook the rice will depend on the type of rice and the desired consistency. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat: Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. This will help to prevent the rice from boiling over.
- Cook the rice until it is tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice. Cook the rice until it is tender, but not mushy. You can check the rice by tasting it or by looking for a small white dot in the center of each grain.
- Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb any excess moisture and will make it easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Cooking rice on the stovetop is a simple process, but there are a few things you can do to make sure your rice turns out perfect every time. By following these tips, you can cook fluffy, delicious rice that will be a hit with your family and friends.
