Chicken With Rice And Vegetables Recipe

Step 1

Boil 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Add 1 cup of rice and a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, 1 chopped carrot, and 1 cup of broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 5

Serve the chicken, rice, and vegetable mixture hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
