Super Healthy One Pot Chicken Meal!

Happy Monday!

Hope your weekend is great and you managed to do all the little jobs that were laying for ages and had to be done. I had a very relaxing weekend, and even though the cold weather doesn't let up, two jumpers and a nice warm kasmir shawl (bought in India, ten years ago keeps me cosy!)

Today I thought I'd share with a nice chicken one pot recipe, which is super healthy and really easy to put together. Don't underestimate a one pot recipe, it can be very delicious, too. Have it with rice, if you can't live without it or combine it with any of your favourite side dishes. A rice, leafy green salad, or another favourite of mine, some pico de gallo. That's a Mexican word for a tomato salsa ''thing'' which I love.

The Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1 Vidalia onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 stalks celery (diced)
1 red pepper (sliced in thin strips)
1 cup mushrooms (chopped)
1 medium tomato (chopped)
½ cup brown rice (uncooked, not instant or quick cooking)
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups vegetable stock or broth (unsalted or low sodium)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup frozen green beans

Directions:

1. In a stock pot with a tight fitting lid, place all the ingredients except the frozen green beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook about 35 minutes.
2. Stir in green beans, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes longer. If needed, add ¼ to ½ cup more stock or water if no moisture left in bottom of pot. Ready to eat as soon as green beans are cooked.

Hope you managed to take in the Oscars, as well. Chris Rock was a super host and had me laughing. If you have not watched his opening, don't be left behind. Catch up on it!

At last Leonardo won an Oscar and all the internet was overflowing with love. I knew he'd do it. Even if it's twenty years since he started acting. My theme line to this this blog is ''Never give up.'' If you keep at it, one day you will get recognition.

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love and Peace!
