Chicken, Chickpeas and Rice with Spinach

Made this and felt the rice ratio was way too low. Was unclear when chicken should have been cut. Easy one pot meal.

  • 2 c rice (increased from 2/3 c)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 3 c spinach, chopped
  • 1 c canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 6 scallions, chopped
  • 2 cl garlic
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 T olive oil
  1. Cook the chicken in pan on both sides until golden brown. Set aside
  2. Sauté onions and garlic for 30 seconds with 1 T olive oil.
  3. On med-high heat, stir in spinach, chickpeas, carrot and rice. Add salt and water to cover.
  4. Cover with lid and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the rice is ready, stirring and adding water if needed.
  5. Once rice is done, add 1 more T olive oil and salt to taste. 
  6. Slice the chicken, stir it in and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Season as needed.
