Ingredients
  

2 cups jasmine rice

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the jasmine rice and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

    Sauté Chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and ground ginger. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

      Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

        Incorporate Veggies: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and soy sauce. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through.

          Combine and Serve: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and then add it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, cooking for another 2 minutes to heat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Meal Prep: Divide the chicken and rice mixture evenly into meal prep containers. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired. Allow to cool before sealing the containers and storing in the fridge.
