Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful Chicken and Rice Bowl combining tender seasoned chicken with fluffy rice and fresh vegetables for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  3. While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken pieces, season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add garlic, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, stir to combine, and add soy sauce if using. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve the chicken and vegetables over the cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and a dash of chili powder before cooking. Serve with a side of avocado or a squeeze of lime for a fresh finish.
