For the Smoky Black Bean Wraps, it calls for 2/3 cup rice and then "cooked" rice in the assembly instructions. How do I cook 2/3 cup rice in the Rice Cooker? Show at 3 pm CST.
 
depends on what kind of rice and what the directions on the package say. I make all kinds of different rices in the RCP, but I always just do what the package tells me, as all are different.
 
Just cook up a batch of rice and measure out what you need. That's what I did.
 
Jessica, what did you do, and how did it turn out?

1. How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?

The best way to ensure that your chicken is fully cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) for it to be considered safe to eat.

2. Can I use frozen chicken for power cooking?

It is not recommended to use frozen chicken for power cooking as it may result in uneven cooking and can also increase the risk of foodborne illnesses. It is best to thaw the chicken completely before cooking.

3. How long should I cook the chicken for?

The cooking time for chicken will vary depending on the size and cut of the chicken. A general rule of thumb is to cook boneless chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side and bone-in chicken for 10-12 minutes per side. However, it is always best to use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.

4. Can I marinate the chicken before power cooking?

Yes, marinating the chicken before power cooking can add flavor and help to tenderize the meat. Just be sure to follow proper food safety guidelines and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator.

5. What is the best way to store leftover power-cooked chicken?

Leftover power-cooked chicken should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 3-4 days. If you want to freeze the chicken, be sure to do so within 2 hours of cooking and use within 2-3 months for best quality.
