For this recipe I used long grain white rice. If you’re using a different type of rice, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid or the cooking time. For the rice I use, I needed 2 cups of liquid for 1 cup of rice and 20 minutes of cooking time. If the rice you are using is different (according to the package directions), adjust the amount of chicken broth and cooking time accordingly
