Gentle Chicken & Rice Bowl

Ingredients

• 120 g Chicken breast
• 0.5 Medium carrot
• 0.5 Medium zucchini
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 75 g White rice (uncooked)
• 0.25 tsp Dried oregano (optional)
• 120 ml Low-sodium chicken stock or water
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Method

1. 0

   Rinse the rice under cold water, then cook according to package instructions using water or low-sodium stock.

2. 1

   While the rice cooks, slice the carrot and zucchini into thin half-moons so they cook quickly and stay soft.

3. 2

   Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and oregano (if using).

4. 3

   Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through.

5. 4

   Add the sliced carrot and zucchini to the pan with a splash of water or stock. Cover and let steam for 5 minutes until the veggies are soft.

6. 5

   Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, then add it to a bowl. Top with the chicken and veggie mixture, spooning a little of the cooking liquid over the rice for extra moisture.

7. 6

   Taste and adjust salt very lightly if needed. Let it cool slightly before eating if your gut prefers warm (not piping hot) food.
