PRO Tips for This Recipe
How to Prevent Rice from Sticking to the Pot:
Place the rice in a strainer and rinse in cool water for 1 minute to remove excess starch, which will help to keep it from sticking.
Adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the chicken broth prior to adding the rice.
Don’t mix the rice while it cooks as this releases starch and makes it stickier.
Make sure the lid is on tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
Let the rice sit for 10 minutes after steaming to allow any rice on the bottom to release.
Ingredient Variations
Chicken, Ham, Ground Beef, or Steak all make excellent meat choices in this casserole.
Different types of rice may be used. Refer to package for liquid measurements and cooking times as this will vary. *Note: I don’t recommend minute rice as it is much sticker, less creamy, and less nutritious.
Other vegetable options in include broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, froze corn, peas, carrots, and more.
Condensed cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli, cheddar cheese soup, or broccoli cheese soup can also be used.
