Ingredients
- 4 oz gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Break the gluten-free spaghetti into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the broken spaghetti pieces and toast them in the butter until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Remove the toasted spaghetti from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
Add the rice, toasted spaghetti, chicken broth, garlic powder, and dried parsley to the skillet with the chicken and onions.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
Step 10
Fluff the Gluten-Free Chicken Rice-A-Roni with a fork before serving. Enjoy warm!
