Ingredients

• 200 grams vegan chicken pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 150 grams broccoli florets
• 1 cup brown rice, rinsed
• 2.5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 4

Stir in the vegan chicken pieces, cooking them until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the rinsed brown rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables and vegan chicken.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable broth over the mixture, then add the soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Fluff the rice mixture with a fork and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your vegan savory chicken and vegetable rice!
