Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup uncooked rice (we use white jasmine rice)
- 2.33 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 16 oz frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, green beans, or Normandy mix)
For the seasoning mix:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Prep the onion and combine all of the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl or ramekin and set aside.
2. Add oil to a large skillet (use one with a cover) and once it’s heated, add the onion, ground chicken, and seasoning mixture. Break up the chicken into bits and stir occasionally until browned, about 7–8 minutes.
3. Once the chicken is browned, add the uncooked rice, frozen veggies, and broth to the pan. Stir to mix well and evenly distribute the rice.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
5. Serve hot and enjoy your one-pot ground chicken and rice with veggies!
Notes
Feel free to switch up the frozen veggies depending on what you have on hand.
Jasmine rice cooks well and provides a light, fluffy texture, but other types of rice can be used—just adjust the cook time and liquid accordingly.
Add a splash of soy sauce, hot sauce, or your favorite stir-fry sauce for extra flavor.
