Chicken and Rice Stew with Zucchini image

My first favorite thing about this recipe is that there's no need to roast any chicken because we use store-bought roast chicken. The second best thing is that you just throw everything into a pot, simmer until the zucchini is tender, and it's ready to eat!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Time 9h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pinch chili powder, or to taste
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 8-ball zucchini
2 tablespoons salted butter, or more as needed
¼ cup diced onion, or to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 cup milk, or more as needed
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Cover chicken breasts with salted water and brine in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While chicken is cooking, bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut tops off the zucchini and scoop out the seeds. Set aside.
  • Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute. Pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir constantly until it starts to thicken. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted.
  • Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir chicken and rice into the cheese sauce. Fill zucchini with the cheesy mixture and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve.
