My husband has boiled chicken with rice quite a lot. He’ll boil a pot of rice with random things like chicken, corn on the cob, etc.

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 6 months agoDid you have some weird chicken boiling job or is that common in your country? I’ve only ever heard of the practice in internet jokes and have never seen it performed.

Really? Never seen or eaten boiled chicken? Where do you think chicken broth or chicken soup comes from?

It’s definitely not the way to go for taste but I’ve heard of boiled chicken pretty often.
Usually it’s in the context of health reasons (a friend that is a fitness and nutrition guy basically just adds diced boiled chicken breast to fresh salads to add protein with few/any nutrition drawbacks), for babies/young children to add some soft and healthy meat to their diet, other dietary restrictions (can’t have spices or salt, etc.), or it’s going to be added to some other dish that will provide moisture, flavor, etc. My mom will boil chicken to make stock, then use the chicken in Buffalo dip or stir fry or shred it up and toss it in bbq sauce for sandwiches and stuff.
Definitely not in the way shown in the OP though.
