Chicken rice has a delicate and light taste, so it cooks quickly using a pressure cooker.
This special rice was the classic lunch that characterized Sundays when I was young and staying with dear friends in French Switzerland.
While in Italy, Sunday is a ritual to eat pasta with sauce, which is good but heavy (after lunch, a nap becomes a necessity), I must say I didn’t miss it. Changing habits sometimes doesn’t hurt. Compared to pasta, rice is easily digestible and made me feel agile enough to enjoy beautiful Sunday afternoon excursions, like walks by the lake, in forests, or other beautiful places.

Special Swiss Traditional White Chicken Rice Recipe
Season the chicken rice with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, but it is delicious even without.
Finally, eat preferably warm when ready and seated at the table.
Finally today, after so long, I was able to rediscover this old recipe with great pleasure. Despite not being able to return to Switzerland unfortunately.
A rather fine and genuine recipe. Rice is suitable for children because it is digestible and also for adults. For anyone in convalescence.
