- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups rice, uncooked
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp turmeric spice, optional, I use it mostly for color
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Then add finely chopped onion and continue frying until the onion is soft and chicken is no longer pink.
- Add in 2 cups of rice and stir well, then add 4 cups of cold water. Season with salt, pepper, and turmeric spice, if desired.
- Bring water to a boil then reduce the heat and continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the frozen vegetables, close the lid, and cook on low heat for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and rice is fully cooked.
Notes
Tip #1: To make this dish more flavorful, marinade your chicken pieces in a soy sauce 15 minutes before cooking. Then continue as directed.
Tip #2: If you cook for less than 4 people, cut the ingredient amount in half.
