Ingredients

1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 ½ cups chicken broth or stock

1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated or from a can)

Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: In a large saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mixture just begins to simmer.

Step 2: Stir in the uncooked instant rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Step 3: Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and remove it from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for 5 to 8 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid and become tender.
Step 4: Once the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, fluff lightly with a fork and serve hot for a creamy, comforting meal.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, stir in cooked shredded chicken or sautéed vegetables before covering the rice.
Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels and adjust seasoning as needed.
Substitute Parmesan with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheesy twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess.

FAQs

Can I use regular rice instead of instant rice?

Regular rice requires a longer cooking time and more liquid, so it’s best to stick with instant rice for this quick recipe.

Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?
