Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter divided
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. First, trim the fat off the chicken. If using chicken breasts, pound to ½ inch thickness.
  2. Place chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken and diced onion to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  4. Then, pour in the broth, uncooked rice, and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  5. Then, place the lid on the skillet. Turn the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken and rice are cooked.
  6. Finally, remove from heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Serve this chicken and rice!

  • We prefer using chicken thighs for this recipe, although the photos show chicken breasts.  Use whichever you have on hand!
  • Chicken is considered safe to eat when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.  Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature.
  • You may need to add in more broth if the rice has not fully cooked.
  • Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
