    One-pan dishes are super easy and great for a weeknight dinner. Some of my favorites are one-pan chicken parmesan pasta, one-pan jambalaya pasta and one-pot tomato rice. This veggie chicken and rice skillet is packed with flavors and so simple to make.

    To make this skillet chicken and rice, I used Tyson® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Grilled Chicken Breast Strips and Uncle Ben's® Ready Rice® Whole Grain Brown. You can find it at your local Albertsons/Safeway.

    To make this easy skillet dinner, you need olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, carrots, garlic, brussels sprouts and spices, plus Tyson® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Grilled Chicken Breast Strips and Uncle Ben's® Ready Rice® Whole Grain Brown.

    Skillet veggie chicken and rice ingredients

    To make this easy skillet dinner, you need olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, carrots, garlic, brussels sprouts and spices, plus Tyson® Fully Cooked Refrigerated Grilled Chicken Breast Strips and Uncle Ben's® Ready Rice® Whole Grain Brown.

     

    Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Whole Grain is easy to prepare, and you can make it in the microwave in only 90 seconds since it's already fully cooked and ready to serve. Tyson Fully Cooked Refrigerated Grilled Chicken Breast Strips are a great addition to this recipe since they're 100% all natural, made with white meat chicken and are fully cooked. Dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes!

    Start with sauteing some onions and garlic in the skillet. Once the onion is translucent, add in red pepper and carrots. Saute until carrots are almost cooked.

    How to make skillet chicken and rice

    Start with sauteing some onions and garlic in the skillet. Once the onion is translucent, add in red pepper and carrots. Saute until carrots are almost cooked.

    Add in brussels sprouts and spices, including salt, allspice, coriander, cumin and cayenne, to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes. Add in grilled chicken strips and mix well to warm up the chicken.

    Meanwhile, prepare the whole grain rice in the microwave. Let the grilled chicken strips heat up in the skillet.

    Add in the prepared rice to the skillet and mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Serve warm.

    What to serve with chicken and rice skillet

    I love serving a simple salad, such as fattoush, cucumber tomato avocado salad or Mediterranean salad, with this chicken and rice skillet. A small and simple salad on the side brings freshness and more flavor to this easy dish.

    This chicken and rice recipe is perfect for the weeknights when you want to make a delicious and nutritious meal that wouldn't take so much time. It's quick and easy to make, especially if you prepare and chop the vegetables ahead of time. I always try to have some chopped onion, garlic, and peppers in the fridge so I can quickly start a meal. I always get all the ingredients I need at my local Safeway, and then I'm all set for the week!
