Step 12: In the meantime, shred your roasted chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Ingredients:

Step 13: After 45 minutes, your rice should have a porridge-like consistency (slightly more liquid present than in a risotto, but not as much as a soup). 1
Ingredients:
- hot cereal
- rice
- soup
Step 14: Add your shredded chicken, mushrooms and peas. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Ingredients:
- shredded chicken
- mushrooms
- peas
Step 15: Serve with a little parsley on top and enjoy hot!
Ingredients:

Step 16: The basmati rice is not nearly as starchy as a shorter grain rice, so you wont fully get a porridge like consistency here if you use it. However, I use it in my recipe because it has greater nutritional benefits.

- basmati rice
- hot cereal
- grains
