One Pot Yellow Rice with Chicken and Veggies

I was looking for a recipe for a one pot yellow rice with chicken and veggies using the packet but I couldn't find one online, so I thought I would publish the recipe after I made it successfully on my own. 



This recipe is really adaptable, so just use what vegetables you have on hand. 

Ingredients:
  • 2 chicken breasts (you can make it with frozen like I did) 
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 onion diced (I was out of onion and it was fine without it because the rice has onion in it)
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced 
  • 1 ear Corn (I had an ear on hand that I cut off) 
  • Or you can use frozen or canned peas corn and carrots 
  • 1 packet of yellow rice and seasoning packet (2.5 serving size)
  • Water according to package directions
  • Oil 
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Heat oil in pan on medium high heat sautee onion bell pepper and carrot until they have softened (carrots will soften more later) 
  2. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper and brown or if it is frozen cook until it is thawed through
  3. Add water according to rice package directions if you are using frozen or canned veggies you can add those now or add the fresh corn 
  4. Once the water has come to boil add the rice and cover and simmer on medium for 20 min 
  5. Towards the end of cooking shred the chicken with two forks, Stir. If there is extra water take the lid off and lower the heat to very low 
  6. Enjoy
