Ingredients

Scale

For the Rice:

  • 4 – 6 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter (divided)
  • 1 heaping cup shredded or chopped carrots
  • Homemade seasoned salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 scant cups long grain white rice (Lundberg White Jasmine Rice recommended)
  • 1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 8 cups chicken stock

For the Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts (~1lb, cut into bite-sized pieces (NOT HUNKS))

Instructions

  1. Saute Veggies: Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add carrots, season with seasoned salt and pepper, then cover and cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cook Rice: Add rice, dried onions, and dried garlic. Stir to coat the rice in butter and saute for 1 minute. Add dried parsley and chicken stock. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season chicken with seasoned salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Increase heat slightly to bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until chicken is cooked through and rice is al dente, about 7-10 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Serve: Stir in remaining butter, season with more seasoned salt and pepper if needed. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then scoop into bowls and serve.
