Chicken Rice
Chicken Rice is for those who prefer rice soup over chicken noodle soup. Chick-bro is often used to fill the rice. It takes little time to make, though; you can cut the time in half by making it ahead of time. The chicken is easier to prepare when you have time to cook it ahead. If you prefer, you can use whole chicken, but my method always results in a better bite. This recipe only makes about 6 cups of chicken. Makes 2 cups or 6 servings.
