Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 large carrots (shredded (about 1 cup))
  • 2 tsp salt (divided)
  • 2 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 2 cups Jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Place heavy soup pot on the stove and turn to medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add olive oil and butter to the pot.

  3. 3

    Once butter is melted add grated carrots, diced onion, minced garlic, and 1 tsp salt. Sautee until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add chicken to the pot. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir occasionally so that chicken browns on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. 5

     Turn heat to high and add 1 cup white wine. Cook until most of the wine has evaporated stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Add hot chicken broth then stir in rice. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce heat to low until the rice is fully cooked. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Turn off heat. Add chopped parsley and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Keep covered to remain warm if you are not serving right away.
