Tasty Chicken & Rice

Packed full of flavor!

• 2 Pounds Chicken Breasts, seasoned and cut into small chunks
• Chicken Seasoning to season chicken BEFORE cooked, (about 2-3 TBSP) (I let my chicken sit in the seasoning a few hours before I cook it. More flavor this way!)

• 2 Teaspoons Italian Seasoning

Directions:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes, until it gets a golden color.
• Add the diced chicken to warm skillet.
• Cook and stir for 7-10 minutes until chicken is golden on all sides.
• Add the garlic and cook for one more minute, stirring constantly.
• Add the chicken broth and rice to the pan and stir.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low.
• Cover with a lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until rice is completely tender.
