Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the diced onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice, chicken broth, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cover and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 15 minutes.
- Add the frozen peas and carrots, stir, and cover again. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

- Fluff with a fork and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, if using. Serve warm.
