CHICKEN AND RICE PRIMAVERA

Chicken and Rice Primavera image

This is a tasty skillet meal that is very quick to put together. You can substitute vegetables, if you like. I always use broccoli. I sometimes substitute the peas for a corn, carrot and asparagus mixture I find in the frozen food section. I love those bags that you just steam partially and then add to the skillet to cook until crisp-tender. I like to brown my chicken in butter so it's very flavorful.
