The healthy meal that I cooked is chicken and rice. I’ve always loved when my mom made this dish but I never actually cooked it myself. Its rich in protein from the chicken and also high in fiber from the rice. The one thing that this meal is poor in is veggies. Yes, there is some chopped white onion, celery, and bell pepper in it but that is not enough.
The first thing you’ll need is chopped onions, celery, green bell pepper, brown rice (or white), chicken, olive oil & chicken bouillon.
First thing to do is put one tablespoon of olive oil into your pan to brown your chicken. Once it is brown on both sides, take it out and set aside. Then you throw your chopped veggies (however many you want) into the pan that you cooked the chicken in, to sauté them. Pour 1 cup of rice in with your veggies and brown the rice also. You will need 2 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon mixed in to pour into your pan next to soak up all of the flavor. You will then pour this into a Pyrex dish and lay your chicken on top.
Place tin foil over the top and then bake for about 45 minutes on 350. Check to make sure there is no liquid in the bottom of your dish.
This was very quick and easy to make and I enjoyed it. The meal was really good and I will be cooking it again!
side note: if your friends don’t like vegetables, you can do one half without (as pictured) 😉
