This dish is ready in only 30 minutes, and is extremely simple to make. Begin with cooking your chicken in onions until it’s not pink anymore. Incorporate the broth with the the cream of chicken soup. Add the rice and cook the rice.
The rice should take around fifteen minutes for cooking according to the kind of rice you choose to use. It is possible to utilize quick rice for speeding it up. Brown rice can take more time to cook.
