While I haven’t tested a brown rice version, I would probably add at least another cup of chicken broth and increase the simmer time to closer to 40 minutes.

It’s even flexible enough to adapt to a vegan diet. Ingredients were selected to avoid common ‘filler foods’ that are nutritious but feature heavily in western diets day to day. Kind of a ‘get outside the go to foods’ style recipe. Options for using ‘go to foods’ are included for completeness.
