You know how annoying it is to have a little bit of chicken soup left, and some cooked chicken, but not enough for a meal? This is an amazing solution! Uses up the leftovers you’re stuck with and provides you with a flavorful, filling dinner that you’re going to make again and again. I even snuck in a thin piece of minute steak I had left, and my family thought the dish was a real winner.

Prepare the Chicken Dinner
-
Heat oil in a small saucepan.
-
Add onion, celery, and garlic and sauté for five minutes.
-
Add carrot, chicken soup, rice, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
-
Add chicken and simmer five to six minutes longer. Remove from heat.
-
Add parsley. Mix together. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
I strongly recommend using basmati rice and not subbing other varieties in this recipe. It has a longer grain and a firm texture, and the grains remain separate after cooking. It also has a floral aroma and nutty flavor, which greatly enhance the flavor of this dish.
