Cook this recipe
- boneless skinless chicken breasts-1 1/4 lb
- broccoli florets-12 oz
- red bell pepper-1 large
- carrots-2 medium
- microwave-ready cooked brown rice-2 pouch
- shredded mozzarella cheese-1 cup
- low-sodium chicken broth-1/2 cup
- garlic-3 cloves
- olive oil-2 tablespoons
- Italian seasoning-1 teaspoon
- kosher salt-3/4 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Prep the ingredients: cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, dice the red bell pepper, thinly slice the carrots, mince the garlic, and cut any large broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Wash hands, the cutting board, and the knife after handling raw chicken.
Keep raw chicken separate from the vegetables and cooked rice during prep.
Brown the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a deep skillet with a lid and at least 5-quart capacity, leaving room for the vegetables and rice. Add chicken carefully to avoid oil splashes; it finishes cooking during the covered vegetable step.
Use caution when adding chicken to hot oil to avoid splatter.
Stir in the carrots, red bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the broccoli and chicken broth. Cover the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender and the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest pieces.
Use the instant-read thermometer to verify the thickest chicken pieces reach 165°F.
Stir in the cooked brown rice, breaking up any clumps. Cook uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes, until the rice is hot throughout and most of the broth is absorbed.
Sprinkle the mozzarella over the skillet, cover, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
