Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp oil

  • 1 tsp seasoning blend (your choice)
  • 1 pkt chicken gravy mix
  • ½ cup parboiled rice

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and sprinkle with the seasoning mix.
  • Heat oil in 10" sauté pan with a tightly fitting lid.
  • Add the chicken and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and chicken is lightly browned. (If your seasoning mix is in danger of burning, add ¼ cup of water at any point.)

  • Add the frozen vegetables and stir to combine.
  • Add the rice and stir to combine.
  • Give the water and gravy mix combination a stir and pour into the pan.
  • Cook until boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and cover with a tightly fitting lid.
  • Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked, lifting the lid and stirring occasionally.
  • Once the rice is fully cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning. Then turn off the heat, replace the lid, and allow to sit for five minutes.
  • Stir once more and serve.
