Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot with a lid over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the finely diced carrot, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the spices and oil. Pour in 1.5 cups water and 1/2 cup almond milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.

Remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and taste to adjust seasoning if needed.

Final Notes

Serve this creamy chicken and rice skillet directly from the pan for an easy weeknight dinner. The almond milk adds a subtle richness without being heavy.
