Homemade Chicken Rice-A-Roni
From: Steph @ www.plainchicken.com/
You will never open another box of Rice-A-Roni after making this rice. It is just as easy as the boxed stuff, but it tastes 100 times better! Chicken Legs keeps asking me to make this for dinner.
I know you might be saying that this is a lot of work for a side dish. It might be if you are measuring out everything each time you make it. I wanted to avoid reaching for the box, so I made several kits of this homemade Rice-A-Roni at one time. I measured out the rice and pasta and put it in a ziploc baggie. Next, I measured out the seasonings and put them in another ziploc baggie. Now, all I have to do is add butter and water. Just like the boxed stuff.
serves 4
Ingredients:
2 oz vermicelli, broken into half inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup long grain rice (not instant)
4 tsp chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp dried parsley
dash garlic powder
2 3/4 cup water
2 Tbsp butter
Directions:
In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter.
Add broken pasta and rice.
Cook until lightly brown.
Add water and seasonings.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed.
