Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
A quick and easy way to enjoy a flavorful meal with minimal cleanup. Using just one pan means less mess and faster cooking, perfect for busy weeknights. The combination of tender chicken, savory rice, and Campbell’s® broth adds rich taste without extra effort.
Cooking Techniques
- Use day-old rice if possible; it helps prevent the dish from becoming mushy.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly before adding the rice to ensure it is fully done.
- Stir frequently to avoid sticking and to evenly distribute flavors throughout the dish.
Directions
Warm some oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook it for about 6 minutes, until it’s nicely browned. Toss in the light parts of the onions, garlic, and ginger, and stir everything together for another minute to release those flavors. Pour in the broth and add the rice, then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Let it cook gently over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been soaked up. During the last few minutes, stir in the broccoli and peas so they cook just right. Once it's done, take the pan off the heat and let it rest, still covered, for a couple of minutes. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle the green parts of the onions on top before serving.
Serving Ideas
Serve this meal hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to add some crunch. Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture. It pairs well with a light, refreshing drink like iced tea or lemonade.
Storing Food Safely
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the rice moist. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.

This one-pan recipe really saved me time after a long day. The flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and the texture of the chicken and rice was spot on. I skipped the green onions since I didn’t have any, but still delicious. Will make again soon!

Cooked this on a rainy afternoon and it felt like a warm hug. The rice was fluffy but still a bit crispy in spots which I like. I swapped in brown rice and it still worked well. Family thought it was delicious and asked for seconds.

First time making something like this and I was impressed by how flavorful it turned out. I chopped the chicken smaller for quicker cooking, which worked well. It made enough for leftovers too, which is always a plus in my book.
