6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
2 cups Leeks, sliced
2 Chicken breasts, cubed boneless, skinless
6 cups Chicken stock
¾ cup Long-grain rice
1 2-inch strip lemon peel
1 Bay leaf
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

If the soup is to be made ahead, add the rice just before serving to prevent it from overcooking.

In saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat; cook leeks, covered, for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until chicken in no longer pink inside. Stir in stock, rice, lemon peel and bay leaf.

Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Discard lemon peel and bay leaf. Stir in salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley. 6 servings for $8⅜ CDN [Mar/95] Source: Canadian Living magazine, Mar 95 Presented in article by Jan Main "Budget Bests: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Tasty Bones" [-=PAM=-] PA_Meadows@...
