ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs, cubed
- 2 medium sized onions, diced

- 1 cup sushi rice or 1 cup arborio rice, must use rice that will absorb all the liquid

- Add some salt and pepper to taste.
- Add veggies, herbs, and salt again for flavor and to sweat the veggies
- Deglaze the pan if it`s sticking, with 1/2 of water or stock. Get all the bits off the bottom -- that`s flavor!
- Add chicken stock, water, bouillion and worchestershire sauce- incorporate well.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
- Once the carrots are tender or even 15 mins before the carrots are done, add the rice.
- Let boil for a minute or two, then reduce the heat and cover -- keep an eye on it and stir when needed.
- It`s ready when the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and you have a creamy consistency -- and of course when the rice is tender!LOL.

We loved this-- adding it to my "keepers"file :-) I seasoned the chicken with salt and Italian pepper before cooking it to give more flavor. The only addition I made to the recipe was about a cup of green peas I had left over from another meal-- stirred them in at the very end. Thanks for sharing this.
