A comforting one pot meal that combines tender chicken, fluffy rice, and vibrant vegetables for a flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 Tablespoons of butter or vegan butter (divided)
  • 1 heaping cup of shredded or chopped carrots
  • Homemade seasoned salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 scant cups of long grain white rice
  • 1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 8 cups of chicken stock
  • 2 chicken breasts (~1lb, cut into bite-sized pieces)

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the shredded or chopped carrots, seasoning them with seasoned salt and pepper. Cook the carrots for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender.
  2. Once the carrots soften, add the rice, dried minced onion, and dried minced garlic. Stir to coat the rice in the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Sprinkle in the dried parsley flakes and pour in the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  4. Decrease the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season the chicken pieces with seasoned salt and pepper before adding them to the pot. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice reaches al dente texture, approximately an additional 7-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the remaining 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter, check the seasoning, and adjust as needed. Allow the dish to sit for 5 minutes to thicken before serving.

Notes

Serve garnished with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color. This dish can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator.
