Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until it shimmers slightly.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken breast. Sear the chicken in the pan for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to keep the flavors intact.
- In the same pan, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften but retain some crunch.
- Add rice and chicken broth to the pan, stirring to combine well.
- Return the seared chicken to the pan, nestling it into the rice and vegetables.
- Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pan with a lid to trap steam.
- Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
