Why metric?
Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements
550 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
160 g white rice (dry), rinsed
1 onion, finely chopped (150 g)
250 g carrot, diced
2 celery sticks, diced (100 g)
1.4 litres reduced-salt chicken stock (1400 g)
30 ml extra-virgin olive oil (27 g)
12 g flat-leaf parsley, chopped
0.5 g iodised table salt, plus more at the table
Ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Warm the oil in a large pan over medium heat and cook the onion, carrot and celery for 10 minutes, until softened and sweet but not coloured.
Add the stock and the chicken, bring to a bare simmer and cook 15 minutes, until the chicken is opaque right through and reads 74C/165F.
Lift the chicken out, shred it with two forks and set it aside.
Add the rice to the pan and simmer 12-14 minutes, until tender. It will keep drinking liquid as it sits, so keep the soup looser than you want to serve it.
Return the chicken with the salt and parsley, and grind pepper over.
Serve
Onion is on most trigger lists and it is also what makes this taste of something. If it is one of yours, leave it out and add an extra carrot; the soup is milder but it still works.
Tomorrow
The rice keeps swelling overnight. Loosen with stock or water when reheating.
Safety and storage
Cook to
74°C / 165°F in the centre (poultry, including minced poultry)
Keeps
2 days refrigerated below 5°C
Reheat to
steaming hot, at least 60°C
The table gives poultry cuts as 74°C. Minced poultry is taken to the same temperature rather than the 71°C mince figure, because mincing spreads surface bacteria through the whole mass. Colour and clear juices are not a reliable test. Check the thickest part with a thermometer.
Cooked rice and pasta keep two days rather than three, so this dish takes the shorter time. Cool and cover within two hours, split large amounts into shallow containers, and reheat until steaming hot, at least 60°C.
These options describe ways to change the workload around a written recipe method. They do not certify a recipe as accessible or safe for a particular person, and they do not silently rewrite the canonical ingredients, quantities, cooking temperatures or food-safety requirements. Trial the real task and use a different method or recipe when a generic workflow change would be inappropriate.
Workflow option
Reduce the chopping step before changing knife technique
If chopping is one of the heavier parts of this method, first check whether the same ingredient can be bought or prepared in a form that removes some knife work.
Consider: Compare pre-cut, frozen, pre-portioned or otherwise prepared versions only where they still perform the same culinary role in this recipe.
Trade-offs
Convenience formats can cost more or use more storage space.
Texture, seasoning, sodium or package size can differ, so check the actual product rather than assuming it is equivalent.
This method has at least moderate lifting or transfer demand, so the heaviest loaded step is worth planning before cooking begins.
Consider: Where the method allows it, consider smaller cookware, split cold loads, sliding across a stable surface or a prepared landing zone rather than carrying one awkward load.
Trade-offs
Splitting a load can add trips, pours or cleanup, so it is useful only when the complete sequence is easier to control.
Hot transfers need a clear destination and should not be improvised after the vessel is already loaded.
This method contains a recorded hot-liquid transfer, so route, load and landing position matter more than simply shortening the written step.
Consider: Clear the destination and route first; reduce the load only when that genuinely simplifies the sequence. If the transfer remains the main barrier, compare recipes whose canonical methods do not contain one.
Trade-offs
Extra pours can create additional spill opportunities even when each container is lighter.
A shorter route is not useful if it ends at an unstable or unreachable landing surface.
Recipes whose current method review records low visual reliance, making them useful examples when comparing methods that depend less heavily on visual checking.
Recipes whose current method uses no more than one cooking vessel, which may reduce pan handling and cleanup without guaranteeing a lighter overall task.

Everyday cooking that takes reflux seriously: your own triggers rather than a blanket banned list, and evenings that sit lighter before bed, which is what current guidance supports. It works alongside your treatment, and some symptoms need a doctor rather than a different dinner.
