Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Asian Zing Gourmet Garlic
1 teaspoon Ellbee's Chili Lime Gourmet Garlic
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Basil Olive Oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup corn kernels
1 each lemon, cut into wedges
chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper

Method

Warm Basil Olive Oil in a wide, lidded skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with Asian Zing Garlic, Chili Lime Garlic, salt, and pepper, then sear until browned on the edges, about 5 minutes.
Stir in rice, broth, green beans, and corn. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 18 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and the chicken reaches 165°F.
Rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice. Finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon at the table.

Notes

Time: 35 min

Kitchen tip: Keep the simmer gentle after covering. That is the secret to tender rice instead of a scorched bottom.
