    Cook’s Note

    I'm not sure what type of rice I use, I think it's medium-grain. Whatever type of rice you use, cook it as you normally would.

    If you don't use the chicken bouillon, use chicken broth instead. Don't forget to add salt.

    For a lighter version: swap oil for butter, or use cooking spray, or leave it out completely. Vegetarians can substitute vegetable oil for the butter, and use vegetable bouillon instead of chicken.
