I tried the citrus chicken and could not get the rice to absorb the water. Cooked it 75 min but the rice was still hard.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

@Tom - You might check the instructions on your rice to see how
much water it says to use. Plain white rice that I use is a 1
part rice to 2 parts water preparation - maybe yours is less.
