Instructions

Cook rice: In a small pot, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced apple and grated carrot. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Stir in almond milk, oregano, paprika, parsley flakes, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to slightly thicken.

Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Serve immediately with the cooked rice.

Final Notes

This dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Garnish with a fresh sprig of parsley if available for extra appeal.
