Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 8 chicken pieces ((we like to use drumsticks))
  • 6 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 yellow onions (, coarsely sliced)
  • 3 stalks celery (, coarsely chopped)
  • 3 large carrots (, coarsely sliced)
  • 1-1/2 cups Uncle Ben's White Rice
  • salt and fresh ground pepper (, to taste)

Instruction

  • Place chicken pieces in a large pot and cover with 6 cups water; bring to a boil.
  • Using a large spoon, remove white foam from top of water.
  • Add sliced onions, celery pieces, and carrots; cover the pot, lower to medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Spread uncooked rice on the bottom of a baking dish. You will need a baking dish that is stovetop-safe.
  • Remove chicken pieces from broth and place on top of rice.
  • Pour the broth into the baking dish with the rice and chicken. Depending on how much water was reduced while making the broth, you may need to add up to 1/2-cup more rice.

  • Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
  • Remove from stovetop and place in oven; bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes.
