Hi everyone,
I cooked this chicken and rice dinner for my husband and I tonight with a
few minor variations. First, I did not brown the chicken breast halves
whole, I cut them into small bite sized pieces. Second, I did not remove
the chicken from the skillet when it was browned, I added the soup and milk
to the skillet with the chicken still in it, brought all that to a boil,
then added the rice and broccoli, turned it down to low, and cooked for six
minutes instead of five, because my rice usually doesn't get done in five
minutes and usually needs just an extra minute. The meal was a success and
very good, but my husband and I both thought it was just a little bit plain
and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. I'm not a very experienced cook,
I've been cooking for a long time but don't know a whole lot about the art
of cooking. I'm looking for some tips from any of you more experienced
cooks about what I can do to give this meal a little more flavor and make it
a little less plain. Other than the fact it was kind of plain, I thought it
was very good, very easy to make, it just needs a little something extra.
What do you guys think? The recipe follows below.
Thank you,
Brittany
