Ingredients: 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-size strips; 2 cups already-cooked rice, warmed; 1 tbsp olive oil; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 1 tsp paprika; ½ tsp Italian seasoning; 1 cup broccoli florets, cut small; 1 cup thinly sliced carrots; ¼ cup water; ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste; Black pepper and chopped parsley, to serve

Instructions

5 steps

Pat the chicken dry and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in an even layer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning, until browned.
Add broccoli, carrots, and water. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir occasionally, adding a splash of water if the pan dries.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the lemon juice. Check the thickest chicken pieces with a thermometer; they must reach 165°F.
Divide warm cooked rice among four bowls, top with the chicken and vegetables, and finish with parsley and extra lemon to taste.
