Copycat Chicken Rice a Roni Recipe


Skip the boxed stuff and make your own at home! Inexpensive, full of flavor and completely homemade! Copycat Chicken Rice a Roni from Hot Eats and Cool Reads


Rice a Roni is a favorite at our house. Since I've started buying less boxed and processed foods, we don't eat it very often anymore. I've seen various recipes for this online, so I had to try and make my own. It turned out delicious and so very easy to make!

Copycat Chicken Rice a Roni

by Sheena
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 c. instant white rice
  • 1/2 c. fine egg noodles (usually found in the Spanish foods aisle)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 c. onion, finely diced
  • 2 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • salt and pepper, as desired
Instructions
Melt butter in a large saute pan. Add rice, noodles, garlic and onion. Saute over medium high heat until rice starts browning, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook covered until rice is cooked through about 10 minutes.

  2. Wow, who knew so easy!! Here's a tip: If you can't find the skinny egg noodles, try broken angel hair pasta. I make a Mexican Fideo Soup and that's what I use b/c I can't find the noodles :) Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Love seeing new faces. Have a blessed week and please come again next Sunday!

  15. Your homemade rice-a-roni looks delicious. We have a homemade recipe that we use and like it but I'm going to give yours a try as it's just a tad different. I love making homemade. It's so much tastier and so much better for our bodies. Thanks for sharing it. Would you be willing to share this recipe post at our Making Monday link party? We would love it and I think our readers would, too. Thanks. Have a fabulous day. http://www.abrightandbeautifullife.com/making-monday-10/
