EASY/PEASY ESSENTIALS: SCRUMMY CHICKEN & RICE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need a saucepan with a lid to cook the rice, and a small skillet to make the chicken.
• The Chicken I am using breast (white) meat; however, you could use thighs, or even leg meat. Up to you.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the rice to the saucepan and cook according to your usual method. When cooked squeeze a bit of lemon juice on it.
• Rice cooking times usually run about 20 minutes. This gives us ample time to make the chicken.
• Dice the chicken.
• Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat, when the butter melts, give the pan a swirl, then add the diced chicken.
• Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, and stir until cooked, about 6 - 8 minutes.
• If you want to make it a bit crisper, then turn up the heat a bit and stir until it begins to brown. But be careful, chicken; especially white meat, can become dry if overcooked. I HATE it when that happens.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Add half the rice to a bowl, and top with half the diced chicken. Add some of the optional items, if desired. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
