A comforting and flavorful one-pot meal featuring tender chicken, fluffy rice, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  5. Incorporate the rice, sliced carrots, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Stir in the almond milk and fresh parsley. Simmer uncovered for another 3-4 minutes until creamy.
  8. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken for added flavor. Pair with a light salad or garlic bread for a balanced meal.
