Living family history and evolving experience. The core recipe remains stable.
Open core recipeFamily Notes
The family recipe is doubled from the original version.
What We’ve Learned
- Cooking the onion first develops a sweeter flavor before the rice is added.
- Allow the rice to simmer undisturbed so it cooks evenly.
- Add the cooked chicken and vegetables near the end so they stay tender without overcooking.
- The rice is done when a grain squeezed between your thumb and forefinger has no firm center.
