How to Make 1 2 3 Chicken Vegetable Rice
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce until smooth.
- Whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock.
- In a large nonstick skillet, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes), 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as broccoli florets, carrots, and bell peppers), and the chicken stock mixture. Set the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in 1 cup minute rice and 1/2 cup additional chicken stock. Return the mixture to a boil.
- Remove from heat, cover the skillet tightly, and let stand for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped green onions before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
