Instructions

  1. Combine spice mix ingredients and set aside.
  2. In large saucepan, heat oil and butter or medium high heat. Add chicken and veggies and stir/saute a couple minutes, Add spice mixture and continue to cook a couple minutes more. If it looks too dry, add more butter or oil.
  3. Add rice. Stir to combine, then add hot chicken stock.
  4. Cover pan, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until rice is cooked and broth is absorbed.
