Ingredients

For the Chicken and Rice:

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 large carrots, shredded (about 1 cup)
  • 2 tsp salt, divided
  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 2 cups rice (Jasmine or Basmati)
  • ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Saute Vegetables: Place a heavy soup pot on the stove over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add grated carrots, diced onion, minced garlic, and 1 tsp salt. Saute until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cook Chicken: Add chicken to the pot. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1⁄2 tsp pepper. Brown chicken on all sides for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Deglaze and Simmer: Increase heat, add white wine, and cook until most of the wine evaporates. Then add hot chicken broth and rice. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat until rice is cooked (15-20 minutes).
  4. Finish and Serve: Turn off heat. Stir in parsley and parmesan cheese. Keep covered until ready to serve.
