- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Soy sauce for seasoning
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a small pot, combine the rice and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and julienned carrot to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.
