Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- You will need a saucepan with a lid to cook the rice, and a small skillet to make the chicken.
- The Chicken I am using breast (white) meat; however, you could use thighs, or even leg meat. Up to you.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Add the rice to the saucepan and cook according to your usual method. When cooked squeeze a bit of lemon juice on it.
- Rice cooking times usually run about 20 minutes. This gives us ample time to make the chicken.
- Dice the chicken.
- Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat, when the butter melts, give the pan a swirl, then add the diced chicken.
- Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, and stir until cooked, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- If you want to make it a bit crisper, then turn up the heat a bit and stir until it begins to brown. But be careful, chicken; especially white meat, can become dry if overcooked. I HATE it when that happens.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Add half the rice to a bowl, and top with half the diced chicken. Add some of the optional items, if desired. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
