A delightful and hearty dish combining tender chicken with flavorful rice and vegetables.
Cut the chicken breast into strips.
Ensure the chicken strips are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken strips until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper browning.
In the same skillet, add the rice, diced carrots, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Cook while stirring until the rice is lightly toasted and the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the skillet.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't dry out; add a splash of broth if needed.
Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
Allowing the dish to rest helps the flavors meld together.
Serve the pilaf warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
