A Homemade San Francisco Treat: Chicken Vermicelli Rice

Excellent, simple, classic side dish! Paired with Chef John’s Champagne Chicken and the two went wonderfully together! We found this pretty tasty on its own but the beauty of this recipe is that it could go well with all sorts of main dishes - from fish to beef. It’s also goes well with many veggies! Great job SHORECOOK!

The first time I cooked this recipe, I gave it 5 stars on my recipe app (Copy Me That) and I'm sure being the first time trying it, I prepared it as written. I've cooked this several times and I recommend to the people who think it's bland, to go with your preferred taste. I don't even measure the seasonings anymore but I do follow the recipe as a guideline. If it's bland, maybe you need more salt. I added celery salt because I have a ton of it and try to use it and it was delicious in this dish! It already has a good bit of sodium from the bullion and butter (if it's salted butter). But I needed more for my taste. I've also added chicken drippings which is a whole other level of flavor! Add some sautéed mushrooms or onion! The sky is the limit! Thank you for creating this wonderful guideline so I don't have to buy that San Fran stuff anymore! :)

I was disappointed in this until I went back and reread the directions. they call for 1 tablespoon of chicken bullion and I only used a teaspoon. Rooky mistake and I know better! I'm going to make it again because it seemed like it would've been really great had I followed the directions properly.

I will definitely make this again. I didn't have chicken bouillon so I used beef instead. Next time I will use at least a cup of vermicelli noodles. 1/4 cup I found wasn't enough. I used other rice as the bed for my Atlantic salmon and my fiancée loved it. Thanks for the recipe

This an easy recipe to make. I did not have the chicken bouillon granules so I replaced with chicken bouillon powder. I also used freshly chopped parsley. It seemed to be a little bland so I sprinkled with tajin clasico seasoning.

Excellent rice dish! Shorecook, I never buy the Rice a Roni because it has soy in it. My family loves rice and this was a keeper. My son had two heaping servings and my husband remarked the rice was really good.
