CHICKEN AND RICE PRIMAVERA

Category: Casseroles - Chicken and Turkey

1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into half-inch thick strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 Carrots, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or more)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups cooked rice
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1/4 cup Romano cheese, grated

Warm olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken strips and minced garlic. Saute the mix, stirring 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.

Add the vegetables, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add rice and tomatoes. Stir occasionally until blended and heated through.

Prepare to serve when the vegetables have attained the desired degree of doneness, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and serve individual portions on plates with a sprinkling of the freshly grated Romano cheese. Serves 6.
