@flora.grim: One little thing I always do: I don’t fully brown or fry the chicken and vegetables. I just cook them for a few minutes to help release their natural flavors before everything simmers together. It adds so much flavor to the final dish. Ingredients: * 2 chicken breasts (about 500–600 g), cut into small bite-sized pieces * 1 tbsp olive oil * 1 tbsp butter * 1 small onion, diced * 2 small carrots, diced * 1 red bell pepper, diced * 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed * 2½ cups chicken broth or water * 1 tsp paprika * ½ tsp turmeric (this gives the rice its beautiful golden color!) * ½ tsp dried oregano * ½ tsp dried thyme * Salt and black pepper, to taste * Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) Instructions: 1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. 2. Add the chicken, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, and cook for about 3–4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside. 3. Add the onion, carrots, and bell pepper, and cook for another 4–5 minutes to build flavor. Stir in the turmeric, oregano, and thyme. 4. Add the rinsed basmati rice and stir for about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pot. 5. Pour in the chicken broth or water, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-22 minutes. 6. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. 7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy! Save this recipe for your next busy day! 🤍 #mom #momlife #blw #toddlerfood #parents
