Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a skillet, sear chicken to golden brown over medium high-heat.
Add remaining ingredients, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, lower the heat to low & cook for 25 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and rice is tender and has absorbed most/all of the liquid. (It’s okay if a small amount of sauce remains at the top of the dish, it will absorb in the next step.)
Turn off the heat and rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

Notes

Feel free to replace with any veggies you have on hand or prefer! // Brown rice conversion: Increase broth/water by 1 cup and increase cooking time to 40-45 minutes.
