Irresistible Chicken and Mushroom Bliss Bowl

Ingredients

- 1.5 pounds of chicken breast, diced
- 6 cups of chicken broth
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, green beans, bell peppers), chopped
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups of jasmine rice

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients: Begin by washing the vegetables and slicing the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Dice the carrots and slice the mushrooms while keeping other mixed vegetables ready.

2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of jasmine rice, a pinch of salt, and cover. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the water. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, add the diced chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in the sliced carrots, mushrooms, and mixed vegetables. Sauté until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

5. Create Flavorful Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer and allow the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.

6. Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked rice, stirring gently to combine. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb some broth and flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Serve: Divide the chicken and mushroom rice mix into four bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm.
