  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make rice with chicken in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. I'm going to cook chicken fillet. But you can take any pieces of chicken, including with bones. Just chop them into small pieces. Steamed long-grain rice is best suited.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel onions and carrots and rinse them from dirt. Finely chop the onion, and carrots can be cut into cubes, circles or simply grated.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan. Cut the chicken fillet into pieces and put it in a frying pan. Fry the meat for 5-7 minutes so that it changes color and begins to fry a little.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Then add the prepared vegetables - onions and carrots to the pan. Fry everything together for a couple of minutes. A characteristic aroma will begin to appear from the vegetables.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Wash the rice and put it in the pan with the chicken. Pour hot water over everything. Add a little salt and spices to taste. As a spice, I take a ready-made set of spices for chicken. But you can take something to your taste. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the rice with chicken for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the rice will absorb water and become softer. If all the water evaporates, and the rice is not ready yet, then you can add a little more. Just a little bit, so that the rice does not turn into porridge.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Chicken rice is ready! Leave it for another 15 minutes just to stand under the lid to steam. Place the finished dish on plates and serve to the table. Bon appetit!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change. 

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
