- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: serves 4
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 12 oz bag frozen veggies (I use peas and carrots)
- 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
- 1 quart (4 cups) chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 1 – 1.5 pounds raw chicken breast, diced
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese to taste or 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine butter, vegetables, rice, broth and spices and bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium (should still be bubbling), cover and cook 20 minutes.
- Add chicken and bring to a boil again.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for another 15-20 minutes. Almost all of the liquid should be absorbed. Taste the rice. If you want it cooked more, add 1/2 cup more broth at a time and continue to let it cook until rice reaches desired tenderness.
- REMOVE FROM HEAT, stir in cheese and taste. Adjust seasonings adding more salt and peper if needed. Cover and let sit (with no heat) for 10 minutes before serving!
