CHICKEN AND RICE PRIMAVERA
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.

- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Primavera means "spring" in Italian, so this dish is traditionally made with fresh, spring vegetables. If you can, try to use vegetables that are in season for the best flavor.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite: You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can also use a good quality regular olive oil.
- Season the dish to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
Conclusion:
Chicken primavera is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with fresh, seasonal vegetables, and it is cooked in a flavorful sauce.
