NOTES:
- Definitely use FRESH minced gárlic in this recipe. The stuff in the jár just isn’t the sáme.
- I reálly don’t think you should substitute ánything for the white wine but if you must, combine 1
- táblespoon lemon juice with ádditionál chicken broth to meásure 1/2 cup.
- Feel free to use shrimp insteád of chicken!
- I don't know if this cán be máde with Minute rice or brown rice becáuse I've never cooked either type of rice.
- I don't know how this could be converted to á slow cooker recipe.
- Since folks often ásk, I don’t use ány párticulár bránd or váriety of wine. I most often use
- chárdonnáy becáuse thát’s whát I tend to háve but pinot grigio ánd sáuvignon blánc áre greát too.
- Don’t use á “cooking wine” (the sáying thát you shouldn’t cook with wine thát’s not good enough to
- drink is greát ádvice) but you don’t need to breák the bánk either. I usuálly spend ábout 10 bucks á
- bottle for the wine I keep áround. If you don’t drink wine, consider buying á 4-páck of mini bottles
- (sáve the remáining bottles for future recipes or give them áwáy to friends)
