Chicken & Rice Delight
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1.5 cups brown rice
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups water
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the brown rice thoroughly and combine with 4 cups of water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes until tender.
- While rice cooks, dice chicken thighs into small, bite-sized pieces. In a separate pan, cook chicken in a splash of water over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F), about 10-12 minutes.
- Steam carrots and green beans until soft, approximately 8-10 minutes. Mash or puree lightly for easier digestion.
- Combine cooked rice, chicken, and vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil and stir thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before dividing into portions. This recipe yields approximately 6-7 servings.
