Ingredients
Chicken Breasts
For this classic 30-minute family dinner, you need boneless chicken breasts. About one pound will serve four people perfectly. Chicken breasts are lean and cook quickly, making them an excellent choice for quick meals.
Olive Oil
You’ll need two tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the chicken. Olive oil adds flavor and helps achieve a golden-brown crust while keeping the meat tender and juicy.
Garlic
Use three cloves of minced garlic for an aromatic punch. Garlic enhances the dish’s flavor profile and adds a delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as it cooks.
Bell Peppers
Two medium bell peppers—one red and one green—add color and sweetness to your meal. Slice them thinly to ensure they cook quickly and complement the chicken beautifully.
Onion
One medium onion, sliced thinly, adds depth of flavor. Onions caramelize as they cook, providing a sweet contrast to the savory elements of this dish.
Soy Sauce
A quarter cup of soy sauce introduces a savory umami flavor that ties all the ingredients together. It also helps tenderize the chicken while adding moisture during cooking.
Rice
Cooked rice serves as a base for your dish. You can use about two cups of white or brown rice. The grains soak up flavors from the chicken and veggies nicely.
Seasoning
Don’t forget salt and pepper to taste! These basic seasonings enhance all other flavors in your classic 30-minute family dinner.
