Ingredients for 1 2 3 Chicken Vegetable Rice

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Liquid Honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables

How to Make 1 2 3 Chicken Vegetable Rice

  1. 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.
  2. Whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock.
  3. 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.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in 1 cup minute rice and 1/2 cup additional chicken stock. Return the mixture to a boil.
  7. Remove from heat, cover the skillet tightly, and let stand for 10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped green onions before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
