Notes

  • In case the mixture turns out to be too thick, you may add more chicken broth gradually towards the end of the cooking time, adding ¼ cup at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • You can substitute brown rice, but you will need to add ½ cup to 1 cup of chicken broth.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs, but you will need to add 30 - 60 minutes to the cook time.
  • For best results I recommend stirring 1-2 times during the cooking process.
