Easy, delicious, kid-friendly recipe for Chicken with Minute Rice!
As the mother of a toddler, I want my son to get the nutrients he needs to grow healthy and strong. But, as the mother of a toddler, I typically have my hands full. Between diaper changes and tantrums, on most days I just want preparing his food to be as easy as possible.
On those days when you need something easy to make that you know will be nutritious for your kids, you can count on Minute Rice!
You can have great tasting, fluffy white rice in just 5 minutes with Minute White Rice. It’s easy to prepare and is the foundation to any healthy meal.
If you like the nutty, rich flavor of brown rice, Minute 100% Whole Grain Brown Rice is a delicious, healthy option, as it has the same nutritional values as regular long cooking brown rice, but is ready in just 10 minutes – just 1/4 the time of regular brown rice. Both Minute Brown and White Rice are gluten free, too!
I adapted this simple recipe from one my mom used to make us when I was little. It was my favorite meal growing up, and I know your kids will love it too!

As her husband I can confirm it was delicious :p
Good recipe. How about replacing the cream of mushroom with just chicken broth or water?
That sounds delicious! I’ll give that a try the next time I make it!
Have you tried it that way yet?
