Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated or from a can)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the soup base: In a large saucepan, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to simmer, ensuring it is well combined and heated through.
  2. Add rice and seasoning: Stir in the uncooked instant rice, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated into the soup base.
  3. Cook the rice: Cover the pan with a lid and immediately remove it from heat. Let it stand, covered, for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the instant rice to absorb the liquid and become tender.
  4. Serve hot: Once the rice is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, fluff gently if desired and serve the dish hot as a comforting side or light main course.

Notes

  • Use low sodium chicken broth for a lower salt version.
  • Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for variation.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken broth and soup with vegetable versions and omit Parmesan or use a vegetarian cheese.
  • Instant rice cooks quickly and requires no additional simmering, reducing overall cooking time.
  • Add cooked vegetables or shredded cooked chicken to make the dish more substantial.
