Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams vegan chicken pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 150 grams broccoli florets
- 1 cup brown rice, rinsed
- 2.5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the vegan chicken pieces, cooking them until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the rinsed brown rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables and vegan chicken.
Pour the vegetable broth over the mixture, then add the soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice mixture with a fork and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your vegan savory chicken and vegetable rice!
