  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Salted Butter divided in half
  • 1 piece Yellow Onion Diced
  • 1 piece Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 piece Rib of Celery diced
  • 7-8 cloves Garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Slice chicken breasts in half and season both sides generously.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a deep skillet. Sear chicken over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Sauté onion, pepper, and celery for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  • Add rinsed rice. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12–15 minutes. Stir once halfway through.
  • Shred or chop the chicken. Once rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed, return chicken to the pan and stir to combine.
