When I read 1 1/3 cup rice, I assumed uncooked. but since there is mostly zero liquid in this recipe, does that mean 1 1/3 cups cooked rice? It’s not a well written recipe at all. Not up to Stephanie’s usual standards.
Stephanie
The rice is meant to be raw. The melted butter, the water, and the juice from the chicken will combine together to make for enough liquid to cook the rice.

Loved the cream of mushroom soup in this recipe.
