Title: Fast Chicken And Rice
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 small onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Push the cooked chicken to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the other side. Saute until the onions are translucent and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the long-grain white rice, ensuring it is well coated with the oil and flavors in the skillet.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and mix in the cooked chicken.
8. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
9. Serve the Fast Chicken and Rice hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
