Chicken and Rice With Green Olives and Tomatoes
Ingredients
2 teaspoons oil
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and diced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 chicken breast, skinless and boneless, diced
1 cup Jasmine rice
2 cups liquid (chicken stock, vegetable broth, or water), at hot temperature
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup green olives, sliced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
1. Heat oil in a large fryer pan, or a wide pot over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic. Saute for 5-7 minutes.
2. Add chicken and continue to cook until the chicken is evenly browned.
3. Add rice and cook for a few more minutes to coat the rice in oil
4. Add liquid to the chicken and rice, bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid has completely evaporated and the rice is tender.
5. Fluff the rice and chicken with a fork, and stir in tomatoes and olives.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Now you eat! When finished, all you have to do is wash one pan, a cutting board, a knife and a mixing spoon. How easy is that?

Thank you! Please let me know if you decide to try this recipe.
I made the Chicken & Rice with Green Olives & Tomatoes this evening and it was delicious!! I didn't have the pepper and I used an Uncle Ben's "Butter & Garlic" Rice pouch, instead of Jasmine rice. I will definitely make this, again! Thanks so much. ~ June
Thanks June! What a quick turn around. I'm so happy recipe was successful for you. Be sure to check out some other recipes from the site. Happy cooking!
I will be 70 this year and I have never been a good cook. Further more I rarely cook anything. My husband cooks for himself. I will try the rice recipe. I think!
Hopeless in Seattle – it is never too late to start cooking. I hope you tried the recipe and loved it. Be sure to come back fro more recipes. Happy cooking!
