1
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
-
2
Smaller pieces will cook faster.
-
3
Pour a little cooking oil into a fry pan so it makes about a 3 inch circle.
-
4
Heat the oil in the pan at medium high until it loses its thickness and races around the pan when you tip it.
-
5
Add the chicken; be careful of splashing the oil.
-
6
Turn the stove down to medium.
-
7
Cook the chicken on all sides, turning the pieces frequently.
-
8
If you choose to cook it fast on high heat you must stir constantly (stir fry) using two utensils.
-
9
Wooden utensils are best.
-
10
Add can of mushroom soup.
-
11
Fill the empty soup can with water and add that as well.
-
12
Stir until the mushroom soup and water smooth out.
-
13
You can let the soup boil a little but turn the heat down until it's barely bubbling.
-
14
You don't need a lid.
-
15
Technically you should mix the soup and water in a separate bowl and get all the lumps out, but why dirty an extra bowl?.
-
16
Now start your rice.
-
17
Cook it any way you want.
-
18
Most people boil the water first then add the rice.
-
19
Turn the stove down to the lowest setting and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
-
20
Grandpa boils the rice and water together and then turns the heat down.
-
21
It's OK if you prefer the Grandpa method.
-
22
Sometimes it depends on the kind of pan you are using and whether you have a gas or electric stove.
-
23
When the rice is done, the chicken is done.
