Ingredients
Method
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Dice onion and mince garlic. If using optional vegetable, dice or chop it.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink on the surface, about 5–7 minutes.
Stir in rice and optional vegetable. Toast for 1–2 minutes, stirring to coat with oil.
Pour in cooking liquid. Add salt, pepper, and chosen herb or spice. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 18–20 minutes for white rice, 40–45 minutes for brown rice or wild rice.
Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and divide into portions.
