One-Pot Chicken and Rice

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• Kosher salt

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, peas, or corn), diced if large

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced

• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup long grain white or brown rice

• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 1/2 tablespoons One in a Bouillon
  

• Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and then cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken from pot and set aside. Add diced vegetables and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently, just until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sauteed vegetables to the bowl with the chicken.

Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, until slightly translucent. Add the broth, the One in a Bouillon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the cooked chicken and vegetables to the pot, stir, and continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Top with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
