This was a very tasty dish. I made a few adjustments, I used the standard rice to liquid ratio 1 cup rice, 2 cups chicken broth I also, threw in a roma tomato into the food processor cuz I needed to use it up. I alway’s fry my rice in evoo but, have never thought about putting the herbs/ veggies in the processor and frying. I omited the P&C’s hubby’s not crazy about them. We both really liked this recipe.
This sounded like a great way to serve rice, but it was way too salty and needed twice the amount of liquid called for. I should have known there’s no way 2 cups of liquid would be enough to cook 2 cups of dry rice!
Good, but far from what I would have expected and far from the usual quality of FN….
Made this dish exactly as instructed. Used NewCastle Brown Ale for the beer. I love all the flavors and think it was spot on. Thank You Chef.
This was delicious and super easy! I used vegetable broth and parsley (instead of cilantro, and agree with Wstekng that it needs a bit more liquid in order to cook through. It was a bit salty, so next time I will lessen the salt. I used Sam Adams Boston Lager, and the dish was a great compliment to baked lemon pepper chicken breasts. Enjoy!
I love this recipe. I used vegetable broth in stead of chicken and added an additional cup (3 cups of veggie broth) I don’t think the rice would have been fully cooked through without more liquid and it worked out perfect. I also reduced the salt to two tsp’s and it was plenty salty. My beer of choice was Fat Tire. This recipe is a keeper…delicious!
This came out great! I used A Sam Adams if anyone wants a recommendation.
This recipe was a cinch to prepare and the aroma while cooking was incredible. I substituted long grain brown rice for the white rice. In doing so, I should have added additional broth and cook time, but did not – however, the dish was excellent! I upped the garlic to three cloves and I used Blue Moon beer in the recipe.
This was a very good side that I can seem complementing many other meals (I prepared this with the Parmesan Chicken recipe initially). I definitely recommend!
