CHICKEN AND RICE PRIMAVERA



Chicken and Rice Primavera image

This is a tasty skillet meal that is very quick to put together. You can substitute vegetables, if you like. I always use broccoli. I sometimes substitute the peas for a corn, carrot and asparagus mixture I find in the frozen food section. I love those bags that you just steam partially and then add to the skillet to cook until crisp-tender. I like to brown my chicken in butter so it's very flavorful.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
1 small carrot, cut into julienne strips
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 1/2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat butter in large skillet; add chicken; cook and stir until nicely browned; add salt, pepper and basil.
  • Add broccoli, peas, carrots and onions; cook and stir until vegetables are tender-crisp.

  • Stir in rice.
  • Return to boil.
  • Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Let stand 5 minutes; stir in cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Primavera.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to your Primavera. Use a chicken broth or vegetable broth that you like the taste of.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
