"Quick Cooking 2008 recipe. Notes say a Church that Sara Nelson attended served this at several of their functions."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 1 1⁄2 cups sliced celery
• 1 cup thinly sliced fresh carrot
• 4 cups cooked cubed chicken
• 7 ounces chicken rice pilaf mix, with vermicelli mix
• 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1⁄2 chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 bay leaves

directions

1. In large saucepan, bring water, celery, bay leaves, carrots to boil. Stir in chicken , onion, garlic, pepper, and rice mix. Return to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.
2. remove bay leaves.
3. I added onion, garlic, pepper, and bay leaves that where not in original recipe.
4. could add a handful of peas for more color.
5. I think this would work well with beef rice mix using beef instead of chicken and beef bouillon. Havent tried it yet.
6. I served with grilled ham and cheese for lunch tasted great.
