Chicken Brown Rice Primavera Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter in large skillet; add chicken; cook and stir until nicely browned; add salt, pepper and basil.
• Add broccoli, peas, carrots and onions; cook and stir until vegetables are tender-crisp.
• Stir in broth; bring to a boil.
• Stir in rice.
• Return to boil.
• Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Let stand 5 minutes; stir in cheese.

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, parsley, and basil in a medium bowl. Add chicken strips and toss until well coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add chicken stock, mixed vegetables, grape tomatoes, green onions, zucchini, and pesto. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, mushrooms, and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the squashes and onion are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the tomatoes with liquid, broth, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Pour into a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Stir the chicken and peas into the zucchini mixture. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken and peas are heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve over the pasta.
• Use this recipe as a springboard for experimentation. A few possibilities are using asparagus for one or both types of squash, substituting green onions for red, trying thyme instead of oregano, and/or replacing the fettuccine with whole-grain bowtie pasta.
• Cooking with no-salt-added tomatoes can really make a difference in sodium: On average, one cup of regular canned tomatoes contains 300 mg more than the same amount of tomatoes canned without added salt!
