Instructions
- 01
In a 3-quart stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper (I start with about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until no longer pick and cooked through.
- 02
Add onion and sauté 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots, celery and garlic and sauté 1 minute.
- 03
Increase the heat to high and add the broth and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir again, cover, and let simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed. Stir occasionally to keep the rice from sticking to the pot.
- 04
Stir in the parmesan and parsley. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or any other desired seasonings.

Variations & swaps
Tips and Variations
- Pre-cooked chicken. You can use cooked chicken in this recipe (such as rotisserie). Simply mix in the cooked meat after the vegetables have been sautéed.
- Garlic. If you are a garlic lover, add a few additional garlic cloves to the broth to help infuse more garlic flavor or garlic powder. Then remove the cloves before serving.
- Vegetables. Feel free to include extra vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or mushrooms. Simply add them in when sautéing the onions, carrots, and celery.
- Stock. Rather than using chicken broth, you can use vegetable stock instead. For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth.
- Herbs. You may substitute fresh parsley, thyme with basil or oregano if preferred.
- Pressure cooker: Achieve the same delicious flavors by making this Instant Pot chicken and rice.
