Homemade Chicken Rice a Roni Recipe

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! This also fit in perfectly with the Pantry Challenge hosted by Good Cheap Eats. I served it with Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots and some Organic Chicken Portobello Brats for a tasty meal!

What you need:
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 (I used water and bouillon cubes) 
1 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper

Directions:
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. Enjoy!!

  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!
