Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 leek, cleaned and chopped (light green and white part only)
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced thinly
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth (I like the boxed Pacific and Imagine brands)
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instruction

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium high heat. Add leek, carrots and celery and stir until the leek is softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add rice to the pot and stir for another 2 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, cover the pot and cook until the rice is done, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley and serve.
