Italian Style Chicken & Rice Skillet
- 2-4 cups hot cooked rice/or pasta
- olive oil as needed
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 c. minced white onion
- two small white potatoes cut up
- 1 cup frozen broccoli florets
- handful of frozen brussel sprouts
- 160z can of cut up sweet potato in light syrup (drained)
- salt & pepper to taste
- your favorite spaghetti sauce
- grated parmesan cheese (garnish)
- serve with hot homemade bread
- First I set up my microwave rice cooker, two cups rice and 4 cups water- 25 minutes on high...
- 1. Saute the chicken in a tbsp of olive oil on medium heat till golden and then set it aside.
- 2. Add a fresh tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and when its hot add the garlic & onions.
- 3. While the aroma is filling the kitchen wash two small to medium potatoes and slice or cut them into small bite size pieces, add to the skillet.
- 4. Stir it all good and make sure the potatoes aren't sticking then toss in the frozen veggies.
- 5. You may need to add some more olive oil at this point (the potatoes drink it up.)
- 6. put a lid on and let it steam a little, the moisture from the frozen veggies should do the trick, if not add a few tbsp water, stir occasionally (about 20 minutes.)
- 7. Drain the can of sweet potato and add toward the end since they are already soft.
- 8. Add the chicken to the skillet, give it a good stir, add more oil if necessary, and heat thru.
- 9. Meanwhile heat up some spaghetti sauce, (i use canned and don't bother to heat it as long as its room temperature)
- 10. To serve heap a nice mound of hot rice on a plate. Top with the stir fry and drizzle some spaghetti sauce on top (adds moisture to the dish), garnish with a little grated Parmesan cheese and hot buttered bread on the side.
