Ingredients

Scale

Liquids and Broth

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups instant white rice
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids and seasonings: In a medium (2 ½ – 3 quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the chicken broth, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken bouillon, and black pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add rice and cheese: Once the liquid is boiling, stir in the instant white rice and the grated parmesan cheese, mixing well to evenly distribute.
  3. Cook covered off heat: Cover the saucepan with the tight-fitting lid and immediately remove it from the heat source to allow the rice to gently cook in the residual heat.
  4. Let rice absorb liquids: Let the rice sit undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, resulting in a creamy texture.
  5. Finish and serve: Stir the rice mixture thoroughly before transferring it to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley as an optional garnish to add a fresh, herby flavor.

Notes

  • Use low sodium chicken broth and chicken bouillon to control the salt level in the dish.
  • Instant white rice is key for this quick recipe; do not substitute with regular rice as it requires different cooking times and liquid ratios.
  • Cover the pot tightly to ensure the steam properly cooks the rice.
  • For a richer flavor, add a small amount of butter or cream along with the parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice color contrast and fresh flavor.
