Chicken and rice is a classic dish, and this easy-peasy version is designed for you to set it up and leave it alone while you do other things. It’s an ideal meal to add to a meal prep day—just let it simmer gently on the back burner while you prep, roast, and pack your produce and protein for the week.
Tip: This is a great dish for using up leftover odds and ends of veggies or protein. Take stock of what you’ve got on hand and swap in what needs using.
