Base Ingredients

Vegetables

Protein (Optional)

Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, chop the carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking the Dish

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  2. 5

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine the spices evenly.

  3. 6

    Add Protein (if using)

    If you are adding chicken breast, cut it into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  4. 7

    Combine with Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables (and chicken if using). Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the mild rice and vegetable mixture warm. Enjoy your meal!
