1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken bosoms — (or chicken thighs)
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon genuine salt

*Please note, the cook time (1/2 to 2 1/2 hours for the chicken + 1 extra hour for the rice and vegetables) recorded can fluctuate contingent on your moderate cooker. Mine reliably completes right now, others have detailed requiring longer for the rice. Utilize your best judgment relying on your moderate cooker model. In the event that it is your first time making the formula, you might need to work in extra "cushion time" just in the event that your moderate cooker doesn't get as hot as mine and other people who see comparable cook times.

As composed, the rice comes out somewhat more soft than it would whenever cooked on the stove or in a rice cooker. It's a fundamental shrewdness without any difficulty of a moderate cooker, so simply be readied (we despite everything adored it!).

Store remains in the fridge for as long as 4 days or freeze for as long as 3 months. Let defrost medium-term in the cooler, at that point warm tenderly in the microwave with a sprinkle of chicken stock, milk, or water to shield it from drying out.
