  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 cups chicken or salmon, cooked and chopped or 2 cups medium-sized shrimp, cleaned and trimmed, optional

*Please see Tips & Notes section.

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer. Stir in rice and simmer about 15 minutes, until rice is soft.
  2. Stir in eggs and lemon juice. Lightly whisk until the egg is thoroughly cooked.
  3. Add chicken, shrimp or salmon, if desired. Feel free to throw in frozen vegetables such as snap peas, too. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chopped parsley.

Tips & Notes

Converted rice is brown rice that has been converted to a white rice texture, allowing it to cook faster. Another long-grain white rice will substitute, but converted rice has more fiber.
