What could I do to make chicken rice and peas more interesting?

Question

Any ideas for sauces or flavours

Answer 1

Just use either a good chicken soup no one will notice that its a soup and will think its a good sauce or a mushroom soup.

Answer 2

Do it the Malaysian way.
Cook the rice as you normally do and leave aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite size, fry it and then add the peas and a few other vegs of whatever you fancy but not potatoes.
You may also add cuts of fried eggs.
Pour the cooked rice on this mixture, add a little of butter( if desired )and stir, leave off heat for a while before serving. It is Delicious, healthy and complete meal.

Answer 3

if you fry some onions cut into small with some garlic and then add the peas and the rice and cook together as u normally cook rice and then stuff them inside the chicken and put in the oven until cooked u will have a very nice flavour and new dish.

Answer 4

Get some bacon and fry the chicken and bacon then add some chinese spices and soy sauce then mix in the rice and peas with beansprouts and water chestnuts. Gorgeous!!

Answer 6

Chicken stock for the base and add lots of Tabasco or Hot pepper sauce.

Answer 7

If it's anything like the Chicken and rice I like to make, use cheddar cheese soup instead of cream of mushroom, etc. You can top it with french fried onions or crushed potato chips (flavored ones are good!) That's about all I do to liven it up. Hope this helps.

Answer 8

Add a few jalapenos or chili's that should liven it up. Add at time chicken is browned.

Also, sweet and sour sauce out of a jar, hoi sin sauce or plum sauce are nice.

Answer 9

Using pulled chicken add onion,mushrooms,carrots,broccoli, shredded cheese,your choice and pasta. Use an Alfredo sauce or crm. of mushroom or crm. of chicken soup.Mix all ingredients,top with parm cheese and bake.For an extra crunch I add sliced water chestnuts just for something different.

Answer 10

Add a few more veg, or add some egg for egg fried rice! try stirring in sweet and sour sauce, that's great with rice. add a few drops of tabasco to spice it up too!
