As much as I like to cook, I don't like spending all day in the kitchen. I love recipes where you just throw ingredients together, forget about it, and eat it. This chicken recipe is just that. I've made many versions of this recipe. I originally made it from pork a long time ago and somehow I made many versions of it using various protein such as beef, veal, or turkey, as well as adding mushrooms. I've topped it off with grated cheddar cheese or a mixture of Mexican cheese which is delicious. As I always say about cooking, you add what you like and take away what you don't like.
Ingredients:
2 skinless chicken breast
1 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of uncooked brown rice or white rice
2 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
2 cups of chicken stock or broth
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan, season chicken on both sides and cook until golden brown.
Add rice, tomatoes, chicken stock, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper.
Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes or until rice is tender.
