Description
A comforting one-skillet supper featuring crispy chicken, garlicky rice, and mixed vegetables, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, diced (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep everything first. Have your diced chicken, minced garlic, cooked rice, and mixed vegetables ready to go.
- Heat the skillet. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Cook the chicken. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the garlic. Push the chicken to one side of the pan, add the minced garlic to the empty space, and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice and soy sauce. Mix well for 1–2 minutes so the rice heats through and absorbs the savory sauce.
- Add vegetables and finish. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Notes
Use cold, day-old rice for best results. Feel free to adjust garlic and soy sauce levels to taste. For added brightness, serve with lime.
