Watch How to Make It
The gravy is made from two packets of gravy mix, following the packet directions with one stated water adjustment. Instead of using 1 cup of water per packet, use 1 1/2 cups of water for each packet.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
The recipe keeps the individual components straightforward. Chicken is seasoned and browned in a pan, the rice is boiled, the corn is heated in the microwave, and the gravy is prepared from the packets before everything is combined.
There is flexibility in the chicken seasoning without changing the rest of the method. Salt and pepper are an option, while other seasonings may be used if desired before the chicken goes into the pan.
The gravy adjustment is clear and applies to both packets. With two packets, the recipe uses 1 1/2 cups of water for each one, for 3 cups of water total.
The final mixing step is also where the butter is added. Use between 2 and 4 tablespoons of butter, then mix it with the chicken, rice, gravy, and corn in the bowl.
Ingredients You'll Need
Use 1 1/2 pounds of cubed chicken. Season it with salt and pepper, or with other seasonings you would like, before browning it in a pan.
You will also need two bags of Success boil-in-a-bag rice. The rice is boiled separately before it is added to the final bowl with the other prepared components.
For the gravy, use two packets of gravy mix. Follow the packet instructions, but measure 1 1/2 cups of water per gravy packet rather than the 1 cup of water called for on the package.
A can of corn is included after it has been strained and heated in the microwave. Keep the corn separate until it is time to combine everything.
Finally, use 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter. The butter is added only after the chicken, rice, gravy, and corn have been placed in the bowl.
How To Make It
This method is organized around preparing the chicken, rice, gravy, and corn before combining them. The chicken is browned in a pan, while the rice is boiled and the corn is microwaved according to the listed instruction.
The gravy packet directions remain the guide for making the gravy. The one recipe-specific change is the water amount: use 1 1/2 cups for each gravy packet instead of 1 cup per packet.
Start by seasoning the 1 1/2 pounds of cubed chicken. Use salt and pepper, or use any other seasonings you would like on the chicken.
Strain the can of corn so it is ready to heat in the microwave later. Set aside the 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter for the final mixing step.
Gather the two packets of gravy mix and account for the adjusted water measurement before preparing them. Each packet uses 1 1/2 cups of water, which means both packets together use 3 cups of water.
Keep the two bags of Success boil-in-a-bag rice ready to boil. The rice does not need to be mixed with the other ingredients until it has been boiled.
Brown the seasoned chicken in a pan. Once the chicken has been browned, it will be added to the bowl with the other completed parts of the meal.
Boil the two bags of Success boil-in-a-bag rice. Keep the boiled rice separate while the gravy and corn are prepared.
Heat the strained corn in the microwave. The corn can then join the chicken, boiled rice, and prepared gravy in the bowl.
Place the browned chicken, boiled rice, prepared gravy, and microwaved corn in a bowl. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter and mix everything together.
Serving & Variations
Serve the meal after all of the components have been mixed with the butter. The finished bowl includes the chicken, rice, gravy, and corn together rather than serving the ingredients separately.
The chicken seasoning can remain simple with salt and pepper, or it can include other seasonings you would like. The butter amount also stays flexible within the provided range of 2 to 4 tablespoons.
The gravy water adjustment does not change with the butter or seasoning choices. Continue to use 1 1/2 cups of water for each gravy packet.
Use 1 1/2 cups of water per gravy packet instead of 1 cup. The recipe uses 2 bags of Success boil-in-a-bag rice.
