Chicken rice with vegetables

(my own recipe)

Serves 4 

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (500-600gr)
• 3 carrots (200 gr)
• 1 large onion (150gr)
• 1 zucchini (150gr)
• 1 large kapia pepper (100gr)  
• 200 gr long rice
• 3 cloves garlic
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1  1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika 
• 1 knorr  concentrated chicken stock

Step One

 Cut the chicken breast in bite size pieces. Cut also the onion, kapia pepper, zucchini and carrots into small cubes. Heat a big pan (I used a wok), put the olive oil. When it's hot, add the chicken breast, brown it on all sides, then take it out on a plate and set them aside covered. 

Step Two

 Put in the pan the onion  and fry it for 2 minutes. Then add the carrots and fry them together for 3 minutes. Then add the kapia pepper and the zucchini. After 2-3 minutes, add the rice and spices (oregano, salt, pepper and paprika). Stir well to not get stuck to the pan. 

Step Three

 Add the concentrated chicken stock and the chicken pieces, put around 500ml of water and the finely chopped garlic, cover them with the lid and let them simmer on medium-low temperature for 20 minutes. Don't remove the lid for these 20 minutes, so the rice will cook well.

Tip 1: If you don't want to use oregano you can use fresh parsley.

Tip 2: You can also use this dish as a garnish, if you replace chicken with mushrooms  .
