A Homemade San Francisco Treat: Chicken Vermicelli Rice

4.6
(45)

Years ago, I came up with my clone of a homemade chicken rice dish my children really enjoyed. I wanted to use the freshest ingredients that I usually have on hand. Many years later, I find myself still making it. If serving a beef dish, substitute chicken bouillon with beef bouillon. Angel hair pasta can be broken into small pieces in place of vermicelli.
