Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil or your favorite cooking oil
1/2 onion chopped
2 celery sticks chopped
2 carrots diced
4 garlic cloves minced
3 tbsp gluten free all-purpose flour or regular all purpose flour
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp sea salt plus more to taste
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
4 cups bone broth or chicken broth
3/4 cup basmati rice rinsed and drained - jasmine rice works too
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream
1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots and cook stirring for 5 minutes until softened.
1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 onion, 2 celery sticks, 2 carrots
Add garlic, flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
4 garlic cloves, 3 tbsp gluten free all-purpose flour, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Pour in broth and scrape the bottom of the pan.
4 cups bone broth
Increase the heat to high and cook until everything comes to a boil, then add rice and coconut milk. (If using heavy cream, don't add it in yet). Bring back to boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
3/4 cup basmati rice, 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
Cover the pot and simmer for 8 minutes while stirring every few minutes to keep the rice from sticking.
Add chopped chicken and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the rice and the chicken are both cooked. Add heavy cream now if that's what you are using. You can add more broth or water if the rice soaks up too much liquid.
1 lb chicken breasts
Taste to add more salt and/or pepper, and serve warm. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using.
Optional: chopped parsley
