And it\u2019s exactly what it sounds like, but somehow better than you expect. Dry parboiled rice goes into a baking dish with French onion soup, beef consomme, and pats of butter across the top. The oven does the work from there. No stirring, no watching, no liquid ratio anxiety. It comes out buttery, savory, and ready to soak up whatever you serve it with. We may never got back to plain rice again\u2026. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2405\" src=\"https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of bourbon chicken with stick of butter rice and lemon garlic broccolini, surrounded by meal prep containers, spices, and kitchen utensils on a rustic wooden surface.\" class=\"wp-image-90026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-800x1203.jpg 800w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-1200x1804.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-400x601.jpg 400w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-276x414.jpg 276w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-128x192.jpg 128w, https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bourbon-chicken-recipe-25-378x567.jpg 378w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tested this specifically for the <strong><a class=\"tasty-link\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-tasty-links-no-disclosure=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/freezer-meals\/\">GC Freezer Meal System<\/a><\/strong>, where vegetables, proteins, and starches are portioned separately and mixed together for quick dinners later.

You\u2019ll end up with undercooked, watery rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the foil tight during the first 35 minutes.<\/strong> This is the steam phase of the bake. Any steam that escapes means the rice cooks unevenly and the bottom can dry out before the top finishes. Crimp the edges if you need to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let it rest before fluffing.<\/strong> The residual steam that builds under the loose foil for those 10 minutes after baking is what finishes the cook. Fluffing too early interrupts the process and the rice won\u2019t have fully absorbed the liquid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t pack the molds.<\/strong> Lightly pressed portions reheat with airy, distinct grains.

wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-rice-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to parboil the rice before baking?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Parboiled long-grain white rice is a type of rice sold dry in a bag, not a cooking step. Add it dry, straight from the package. The pre-parboiling that happened at the mill is what makes the grains hold up better after freezing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-rice-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use a larger baking dish?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can, but the rice will spread thinner and may cook faster. Check for doneness at the 30-minute mark, then adjust the uncovered baking time accordingly. An 8\u00d78 or 9\u00d79 is the right size for this liquid-to-rice ratio.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-rice-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I double the recipe?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, in a 9\u00d713 dish. Use 2 cups of rice, 2 cans of soup, 2 cans of consomme, and 2 sticks of butter. The bake time stays roughly the same, but check for liquid absorption at the 35-minute uncovered stage since larger batches can vary.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-rice-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use regular long-grain white rice instead?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but the texture will be softer after reheating. If you use regular rice, watch the bake time closely and stop once the rice is just tender.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783881518241\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze stick of butter rice in a different mold size?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. The 1\/2-cup mold matches the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/girlcarnivore.com\/freezer-meals\/\">GC Freezer Meal System<\/a><\/strong> portions, but larger molds work if you prefer bigger starch servings. Keep portions level and avoid packing them tightly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783881540229\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I add after reheating?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A splash of beef broth or a small pat of butter can refresh the texture. Fresh herbs or toppings should be added after reheating.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freezer Meals Series \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 Starch The moment we heard the words \u2018stick of butter\u2019 and \u2018rice \u2018, we had to try it.
