Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked instant rice; 1 cup chicken broth; 1/2 cup chopped frozen green pepper, thawed; 1/4 cup chopped onion; 2 teaspoons olive oil; 1 package (9 ounces) ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips; 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed; 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1 teaspoon rubbed sage; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper

These rice bowls are so easy to toss together on a busy weeknight, and I usually have the ingredients on hand. I start sauteing the onion and pepper first, then I prepare the instant rice. If you like, top it with some shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked instant rice
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped frozen green pepper, thawed
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 package (9 ounces) ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Cook rice in broth according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the green pepper and onion in oil for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the chicken, corn, peas, basil and sage. Cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes over medium heat or until heated through. Stir in the rice, salt and pepper.

I made 2 cups of rice (Just added enough water to the broth to make 2 cups), and added a few more vegetables just because we love rice. Very good and quick!

this was really good, my husband went back for seconds. The sage was a little overpowering. Next time I won't add so much sage.

Tasty! It was like a light version of fried rice sans the egg. I didn't have peas & carrots either; but it was flavorful even just with the onion/peppers.
