Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Add the olive oil to a large, deep skillet and heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, until chicken is nearly cooked through and browned on the outside.
  4. Add the rice, carrots, and garlic to the pan and stir to combine. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce to a simmer, cover pan and cook for 10 minutes.
