Description
A simple one-pan meal combining chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in uncooked rice, chicken broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and the cooked chicken. Cover and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are heated through.
- If using, sprinkle cheese over the top, cover briefly until melted, then serve.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Use pre-cooked chicken for a faster preparation time.
