You don’t have to worry about overcooked rice in this classic dish thanks to Suvie. Cooking the rice separately and stirring it into the soup just before serving ensures the rice retains its shape, while still absorbing the flavorful chicken broth. First we sear the chicken in a hot skillet to develop deep, meaty flavor compounds before slow cooking. The chicken breasts poach in the broth, infusing the finished soup with rich flavor. This recipe can easily be doubled, simply double the ingredients and divide between two Suvie pans.
