Notes
Long-grain rice is preferred for this recipe because it won’t clump as much as short-grain rice would.
Be sure to cut the chicken up into bite-size so that the chicken can cook easily and easy-eating!
I used Chicken breast for this recipe. However, any boneless chicken part will work just fine.
