Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the edges.
Stir in the uncooked rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with the oil and flavors in the pan.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Add the frozen peas, shredded carrot, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ham and Rice Skillet!
