NINJA SPEEDI CHICKEN AND RICE A RONI 15 MINUTE MEAL | NINJA SPEEDI RECIPES

Hello and welcome back to Cooking With James! This episode I'm making chicken and Rice A Roni. 15 minute meal!

[@KelliDowning]

Thank you for making these Ninja Speedi meals. Mine was sitting unused until I saw your videos. Sunday I made the shrimp alfredo and today I made this chicken and rice a roni. They turned out perfect. I would love to see more of these videos. I have already binged all your speedi vids. Keep them coming!😋

[@CookinWithJames]

Thanks. Will do!

[@deannaseguin4342]

Excellent meal on a weeknight before the kids have hockey practice or music lessons or whatever.....no need for take out...make this meal, throw together a nice salad...and away you go! Perfect, love your videos James...keep em coming please.

[@CookinWithJames]

[@bradb5996]

Made this for dinner tonight… so simple and delicious. Thank you James.

[@CookinWithJames]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it! Simple and delicious!

[@chrismacdonald.6295]

I have just purchased my Speedi and did 2 meals. A seasoned chicken breast and a burger. Simple. The chicken comes out as James describes, succulent and perfectly cooked. The burger was great too. This machine is so versatile. I’m looking forward to doing the crispy chicken as just the sound of it makes you feel hungry. Hope James can come up with some more recipes. Thank you.

The Speedi is new in the UK - looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks for videos.

[@CookinWithJames]

You got it. Thanks so much for watching

[@SusanHSuzyQH]

Hey James! I just want to say thank you for your Speedi recipes. I've probably made this recipe at least six times and each time was very good. I do need to add a bit more water, but I'm at a higher altitude. I change up the seasonings on the chicken. I've also made pork chops instead of chicken. Thanks so much!

[@CookinWithJames]

Awesome thanks so much!

[@4katrine]

I just made this. I also use Rice a Roni a lot and it’s so much better in the speedi! Thank you for your videos 🙏

[@CookinWithJames]

You're so welcome!

[@douglarsen4801]

Chicken Breast and Zatarains Spanish stove was a big hit. So easy! And probably $6-7 for a family meal

[@nessasnook]

Subscribed will be watching some of your videos I love my speedi and I see you have a few that maybe I can learn some new things. That meal looked amazing! Great job! I love one pot meals!

[@CookinWithJames]

Awesome, thank you!

Hey James😃That meal looks delicious😋👍🏻Happy New Year🥂🍻🎉ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

[@CookinWithJames]

Thanks so much brother happy holidays

[@gloriaa.4858]

Oh, see, I had to subscribe. I watched a couple of people use the Ninja Speedi and fell in love with it. That meant, put out the hints for birthday and Xmas for momma. Okay, so my son got it for me, but I didn't quite know what to make in it first. Well, you've solved that problem. Thanks, for a great vid. Looking forward to more ideas. Have a safe and happy new year.

[@CookinWithJames]

Thanks you as well. Check out my video on how to use the functions. That might also help

Making this tonight but with family size box of rice so hopefully it works the same!

[@mickeyreed6338]

I have a question: What do you think about cooking the green beans with the rice? Just put them on top of the rice. Seems like you wouldn't have to dirty up another pot or whatever you used to heat them up.

[@CookinWithJames]

Yes. Put the green beans with it. Sounds good

[@zorinakellogg64]

Gonna make a Cauliflower rice with Sautee vegetables with that, Thank you

[@CookinWithJames]

Sounds good

[@jillj4165]

Hi James! I'm new to the Speedi and love your videos. What does the Speedi do that prevents skinless chicken from drying out and getting hard?

[@CookinWithJames]

Steam

[@CookinWithJames]

What are you trying to cook

[@debbiefradkin4426]

Hello James, I am so enjoying your video's on the speedi! I have a question for you on the rice a roni, I usually use 2 boxes at a time. Would I follow the directions that are on the box, say I am using the beef - it calls for 2 1/2 cups of water per box. Would I then use the actual 5 cups of water needed for a double batch? And would the speedi cooking time be the same -15 minutes? thank you for your help James!

[@CookinWithJames]

Yes it will be the same. If any water left at the end add a couple minutes. But ya it should be good

[@debbiefradkin4426]

@@CookinWithJames Thank you for your quick reply! Will give it a try tonight and let you know.

[@CookinWithJames]

Please do. Thanks!

[@debbiefradkin4426]

@@CookinWithJames I used 4 3/4 cups of water, if I do another double batch, I think I will try just 4 cups of maybe just a bit less. The rice a roni was good, but I felt it tasted "watery" , don't know if I can describe it! I should have cooked it just a few minutes more maybe. But what was cool (and I am sorry now I didn't take a picture for you), the top had a nice crisp to it! That took me by surprise, so if I had cooked it longer, it would have been a really nice and crisp topping! Again, thanks for your video's!

[@vitazgal9933]

I have the cut green beans & ckn breasts...seriously thinking of going out right now & getting the Rice Roni ckn flavor...it looks soo easy.... LOVE this channel...(Brownie pans-none arrived ...yet) !! Happy New Year... Thanks!

[@CookinWithJames]

Awesome. Thanks so much for sharing! Much appreciated

[@rolandgadue4351]

James, nice looking meal! too bad the Ninja Speedi did not have 3 levels and then you could have cooked your greens beans with it. I wonder if chicken wings would work instead of chicken thighs. The dripping from the chicken must have made that rice more flavorful. I have everything to try but the chicken thighs, I have wings instead.

[@CookinWithJames]

Wings will work great

[@mikedunn7795]

Okay,I got Rice-a-Roni tonite. How much chicken are you using? I prefer chicken breasts,and I am using 35 oz of skin on,bone in chicken breasts. Will report back on results.Just finished dinner,and the chicken and rice turned out great. Had to add about 10 or 15 minutes to the cook,but the rice was done great.

[@scoobyLCJ]

I should be able to do this with the Ninja foodie because that is the only one that I have 😮 where did you get the hot seasoning from

[@juliawood4934]

How do you do with tenders?

[@CookinWithJames]

Same. Just check temp after about 10 minutes

[@dawnreagan6635]

So can this work with bone-in , skin on thighs? About what do you think the additional time should be?

[@CookinWithJames]

Yes it can. Probably same time. Start thighs skin side down for 10 minutes then flip over. Make sure it's atleast 165 degrees

[@dawnreagan6635]

@@CookinWithJames Made this tonight with bone-in, skin on thighs and cheddar broccoli Rice A Roni that I added some frozen broccoli florets to. I increased the water to 2 cups because with the cheese seasoning, I wanted a bit more moisture. I added two minutes to the cooking time. Per your suggestion, I started the chicken skin side down for the first 10 minutes. It came out perfect! The crispy skin was fabulous! I will definitely make this again!

[@CookinWithJames]

That is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@sandrawestley4193]

Never in my life browned the rice, you could do with watching Doug or pressure Crisp, both are good but they don’t brown the rice. It still looked good

[@daisyjacob7172]

I am new to ninja speedi. Can you tell me how much water is required for 1 cup basmathi rice

[@danforbes4513]

i think its one cup of water to one cup of rice

[@kyleperon4824]

Thank you. What about boneless chicken breasts? Same time?

[@CookinWithJames]

Yes. Depending how thick the breast is

[@beauty2075]

Hello, i don't know how much water i should put on the rice can you help pls

It’s in the video

@@CookinWithJames ok thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mikedunn7795]

I am sad to report this recipe was my first unmitigated disaster after 2 excellent recipe results. The rice was sitting in water when the 20 minutes was up,and the chicken was done,but a little on the dry,chewy side. I had a box of Uncle Ben's brown rice,unopened,which I wanted to use up. I used a random selection of Italian spices in the rice.Used the recommended amount of water to cook the one cup of rice.😪😪

[@CookinWithJames]

You have to use rice a roni. Or check out my white rice recipe

[@free2div]

are there written instructions for this..I have no way to watch it while I prepare

doesnt all the fat from the chicken drop onto the rice?

Heck ya more flavor
