Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.While the chicken cooks, rinse the rice and combine it with water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until the rice is tender and fluffy.Serve the chicken and gravy spooned generously over hot rice, letting the gravy soak in just like a true home-style supper.
