15 Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner with Rice Pudding for dessert!

Do you have one staple you always use meals and is your go-to when you need to whip up a yummy recipe quickly? I do. It’s Minute® Rice. It is never missing from my pantry. It was one of my kids first meals and helped me get through those picky eating toddler years plus is especially great to use during the busy holiday season.

When I had a chance to attend a Minute® Rice Christmas live event I was so excited. I got to hang out with some super fun bloggers and taste all of their vintage recipes. It was amazing to see everyone’s recipes and it definitely displayed the versatility of Minute® Rice.

Maggie from the Love Nerds was our host and she went all out! It was the perfect setting, it was gorgeous and she had my favorite thing….coffee! We were treated to not only yummy rice dishes, there was a horchata bar too!

I brought my infamous 15 minute Chicken & Rice dinner that is based on a old recipe I found on the back of a Minute Rice box when my son was one.

I paired it with my husband’s favorite rice pudding recipe I have been making since we were dating. He’s very particular and it has to be a bit on the eggy side.

I used Minute® White Rice – which is the Original precooked rice. I love it because it’s not processed – just pre-cooked, it’s gluten free, MSG and preservative free, non-GMO and is super versatile. Since it’s pre-cooked it consistently turns out perfect which I need. I don’t have time for do-overs! We also frequently make the Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice and the Minute® Multi-Grain Medley too. Both the Brown Rice and Multi-Grain (made with 100% whole grains –brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa) are also gluten free, preservative free, non-GMO and have an awesome, nutty flavor.

15 Minute Rice & Chicken Dinner

SUPER easy to prepare chicken and rice dinner that has been my son's favorite since 1998!

Ingredients

2 cups of Minute® White Rice, uncooked

1-2 tbsp of oil

4 large boneless chicken breast cut in 1/4s

1/2 cup of chicken broth

1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup of water

1 tsp of garlic powder

1 tsp of onion powder

2 tbsp of chopped parsley flakes

Instructions

Heat oil in a large non stick skillet, then add the chicken. Cover.

Cook chicken 4 minutes on each side, make sure it's brown. Remove chicken from skillet.

Add soup, water, 1 cup of rice and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a boil.

Add in the remainder of the rice, parsley, garlic and onion powder.

Top with the chicken then cook on low for 5 minutes or until chicken is 170 degrees.

Let the mixture rest and absorb all the liquid.

Notes

If you want to use the Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice just add 5 minutes to the cook time.

My friend Meredith from Sanity in Suburbia brought another favorite of mine, the Sante Fe Rice with Chicken.

I cannot TELL YOU how full I was. There we so many fantastic dishes and well all agreed that they were delicious. I don’t think there was a bad dish in the group. Every seemed to like mine and what was left over my son polished off when I got home.

Like I said, Maggie made us feel right at home. We sat around and chatted, did a little craft while we were eating.
