Instructions
- In a large pot of medium heat, heat the olive oil. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 more seconds.
- Add the cubed chicken, season with Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and black pepper, and cook until the chicken is mostly cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook with the chicken for about 2 minutes. Add the peas and carrots, soy sauce and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add the water on top, mix all the ingredients together, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 15 minutes, until rice is fully cooked. Remove from heat and allow the steam to continue cooking the rice for 5-10 more minutes.
- Fluff the rice, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 4 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
- Freezing Instructions: Put the chicken and rice in a freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, label it with the date, and it’ll keep well for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight, and reheat it using any of the methods above once you want to enjoy it again.
