Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of uncooked long-grain rice, 2 teaspoons of dried parsley flakes, 4 tablespoons of instant chicken bouillon, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
-
Stir the mixture thoroughly until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
-
Divide the mixture into three 1-pint airtight containers, using about 1 1/3 cups of the mix per container.
-
Label the containers with the date and contents, then store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 to 8 months.
-
To cook, measure 1 1/3 cups of the chicken-flavored rice mix and place it in a medium saucepan.
-
Add 2 cups of cold water and 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine to the saucepan.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb remaining moisture.
-
Fluff with a fork before serving.
