Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare the base: 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.
- Add rice and seasonings: Stir in the uncooked instant rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Cook and rest: Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and remove it from the heat. Let it stand covered for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the instant rice to absorb the liquid and become tender.
- Serve: Once the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve hot for a creamy, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use chicken broth with low sodium to control salt levels in the dish.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth with vegetarian alternatives.
- Freshly grated Parmesan adds more flavor than pre-grated canned cheese but both work well.
- Instant rice cooks quickly and makes this dish fast and easy.
