Charleston Red Rice
Description
This recipe starts with cooking aromatic vegetables—onion, celery, and garlic—in olive oil until softened. Bite-sized chicken breast pieces are then browned with poultry seasoning to add savory depth. The cooked vegetables are returned to the pan along with uncooked rice, tomato products, chicken broth, fresh parsley, and Tabasco sauce for a mild spicy note.
After bringing the mixture to a boil, it's covered and simmered gently until the rice is tender and most liquid has been absorbed. The result is a hearty red rice dish with tender chicken chunks and subtly spiced tomato flavor. The combination of Tabasco and poultry seasoning offers a characteristic tangy and earthy accent typical of Charleston-style red rice.
