Mixed Spice Chicken And Rice

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
• 1 lb chicken, boneless, skinless, cut in bite size pieces (i used 7 tenderloins)
• 2 cups jasmine rice, uncooked
• 3 cups water
• 1 tablespoon instant chicken bouillon granules (or 3 cups chicken broth or stock in place of the boullion and water)
• 1 tablespoon mixed spice

Recipe

• 1 melt the butter in a pan in which you can later cook the rice (i used a dutch oven).
• 2 sautee the onion and garlic in the butter, and add the chicken after they appear to be done. cook it thoroughly.
• 3 remove the chicken, onion and garlic from the pan and set aside.
• 4 add the water and boullion (or broth) to the pan along with the mixed spice.
• 5 bring to a boil and add the jasmine rice.
• 6 cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and turn down to simmer for 15 minute (these are the directions for my rice - cook your rice as directed using the broth/boullion instead of water).
• 7 after the rice is done, remove from the heat, quickly add the chicken, onion and garlic, stir well, and put the lid back on for 5 minutes.
