Stovetop Cracked Out Chicken & Rice

Stovetop Cracked Out Chicken and Rice recipe- dinner in 15 minutes!!! Chicken and Rice loaded with cheddar, bacon and ranch. Great weeknight meal. Everyone cleans their plate!!

Several people commented on my Baked Cracked Out Chicken and Rice that they had a hard time getting the rice to cook. I have never had any issues with the rice cooking, so I wasn't really sure what the problem was. I decided to make a stovetop version with instant rice in hopes the rice would cook easier.

This is SO simple! It is actually much easier and faster than the original. I like to use chopped rotisserie chicken in this dish. It really cut down on the prep time. This only took about 20 minutes from start to finish. You can't beat that! Chicken Legs raved about this version. He went back for seconds.  This was also great reheated for lunch the next day. Give this a try the next time you need a quick weeknight meal!
