02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Brown Chicken and Saut Veggies

Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken pieces. Let them brown nicely on all sides. Once the chicken has a good color, toss in the onions and cook for another couple of minutes until they start to soften. Next, add the mixed vegetables, the UNCLE BEN'S® Flavor Infusions Chicken & Herb Rice, and water. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Once it’s all cooked through, give it a good stir and serve. Enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken. You can also freeze cooked portions for up to two months, just thaw overnight before reheating.
