You could try rinsing the rice first, using a metal sieve. This will remove some of the starch that could make it a little sticky.

I love the recipe, it’s very flavorful! However, I keep running into a problem. Despite using long grain white rice like you specify, the rice still comes out sticky and mushy. Is there a way to remedy this?

Where are measurements?

Hi Bonnie, Thank you for your compliments and appreciate your friendly critique. I love your suggestions and I will definitely add that into the tips for the recipe. I agree about the seasoning of some dishes, I always recommend seasoning “to taste” and adding flavors you love.

I was looking for something easy for dinner tonight after thawing out some chicken breast. I’m pleased to find something that uses ingredients I have on hand, but I plan to add mixed frozen veggies at the end. If I had spinach, I would add that as well. The recipe itself doesn’t mention using ‘thin chicken breasts’ but after reading the tips, I’ll be butterflying mine and pounding them for extra tenderness. I do this often with great results. I believe the recipe could be more consistently enjoyed with this method written into the recipe. As always, I will spice it to our taste as most recipes aren’t vibrant enough for us. As squeeze of lemon goes a long way to brighten a lot of recipes. I appreciate having this method to follow as a baseline so I know it wont fail!

It should be 2 teaspoons in the instructions. However, the amount of salt can be subjective to individual tastes. Thanks for catching the mistake…the humans behind the site make little mistakes sometimes but appreciate when we get the chance to fix them. Have a great day!

Add onion to the pan and season with ½ teaspoon salt.

Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, and pepper.

Pour in the remaining cup of chicken broth, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using.

Which is the correct amount?

You are so welcome Deborah! Thank you for the awesome feedback.

We loved your recipe. I made it for my boyfriend and we both loved it. The chicken was tender, as well as the rice. There was alot of flavor. So Kudos to you and thank you. We haven’t been disappointed yet with any of your recipes.
