Chicken & Rice (With Some Spice!)
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 OUNCES OF BONELESS, SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST- 4 CLOVES OF FRESH GARLIC (ORGANIC IS BEST!)- 1/2 CUP GREEN ONIONS- 1 JALAPENO PEPPER- 2 TBSP OF A SALT SUBSTITUTE (I USE MORTON)- 3 TBSP GROUND BLACK PEPPER- 1 1/2 TBSP OF MEDITERRANEAN BASIL LEAVES (MCCORMICK IS GREAT!)- 3 CUPS OF LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE- 2 TBSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1. Cut chicken into small pieces.
2. Simmer oil in large skillet.
3. Add chicken to oil.
(GO AHEAD AND COOK YOUR RICE WHILE DOING THIS.)
4. Once the chicken is cooked white (NOT DONE) add in green onions, jalapeno, and garlic cloves.
5. Cook on medium-high temperature until chicken begins to brown as well as the vegetables. (If the vegetables start to look black, it's alright! The flavor is all there.) Once the chicken looks almost done, add in the salt substitute, pepper, and basil leaves. If you want a little extra flavor, add in a small amount of paprika!
6. Put chicken over rice in bowl, and enjoy!
(Apologies if my instructions are vague. I am not a chef nor a coach.)
Yields 4 small (but filling!) servings.
