Cook the Rice
While the chicken is marinating, rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice and salt. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
