Ingredients
Scale
Rice:
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice (rinsed)
Chicken and Vegetables:
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Add the rinsed rice and chicken broth to the rice cooker insert. Stir in the chicken, mixed vegetables, soy sauce, oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook: Close the lid and set the rice cooker to the standard or “white rice” setting. Cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked, about 25–35 minutes depending on your rice cooker.
- Rest and Serve: Once done, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
