Cook the Rice

Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions. Aim for 150-200 grams of cooked rice per serving. Set aside once cooked.

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs. In a pan, heat a bit of cooking oil or butter over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips. Set aside.

Cook the Carrots

In the same pan, add the sliced carrots and a bit of water. Cover and let them steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover and let any excess water evaporate. Set aside.

Prepare the Creamy Sauce

In a separate pan, prepare your choice of light sauce or cream base. Adjust the quantity to 30-50 grams per serving if opting for a light sauce, more if using a cream base. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of your favorite herbs to taste.

Combine and Serve

Combine the cooked rice, sliced chicken, and carrots in a serving dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the top, ensuring all ingredients are well coated. Serve warm.
