Chicken Rice One Skillet. Many chicken and rice recipes can be made in a single skillet. This version is no different, and one of the major appeals is the very little cleanup! Cook the chicken, add the veggies and rice, nestle the chicken back in, simmer it all together, and dinner is done.
We have rice, chicken, veggies, more rice… and it all happens in one skillet. We will first brown some chicken pieces, then add in diced onions and peppers. Some water and sour cream (you can use yogurt) will be added in, as well as seasonings, rice, and tomatoes. You can cook Chicken Rice One Skillet using 10 ingredients and 12 steps.

- I was using Jasmine rice, you need to add enough water to cook the rice, plus a little more. For example i used 3 tablespoons more than the Jasmine rice called for..
- Bring water to a boil, stir, reduce heat to low, cover, simmer for 5 minutes less than your rice typically needs. My Jasmine needs 25 minutes, so i went 20 minutes.
- Add frozen peas, cover, cook last 5 minutes..
- Stir it all together, check everything is done..
- Serve..
