1

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Take out a large pot and place it on the stove over medium heat.

2

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pot and let it heat up for about 2 minutes.

3

While the oil is heating, dice 1 onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Add the onion into the pot first and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

4

Next, add the minced garlic into the pot and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

5

Cut 2 pounds of chicken into bite-sized pieces and season them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

6

Add the seasoned chicken pieces into the pot and cook for about 10 minutes until they are no longer pink, stirring occasionally.

7

Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and add 2 cups of rice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the broth.

9

Once done, turn off the heat. Let it sit covered for another 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
