CHICKEN AND RICE (ONE POT DINNER RECIPE)

This one pot chicken and rice dinner is simple — throw all of the ingredients into a single pot (including uncooked white rice), cover with a lid and simmer for twenty minutes, and voila, dinner is ready. This is a healthy and well-balanced meal, too: there’s a good mix of protein, vegetables, and grains.
This chicken and rice meal reminds me of jambalaya in the sense that it has more than one type of meat, includes rice and mixed vegetables, and has Cajun spices. The Cajun spices are a mix of paprika, thyme, and cayenne. It’s a little spicy but not too much, and you can easily adjust to taste

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped into 1-inch chunks
• 8 ounces smoked ham diced
• 1 sweet onion chopped
• 1 green bell pepper diced
• 5 cloves garlic minced

• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 3/4 cup frozen green peas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

1. Heat butter in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, spreading the melting butter over the bottom of the pot. Add chicken and sauté until cooked on all sides, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ham and stir with the chicken.
