Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes.

  4. Stir in the diced zucchini and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Add the rice, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

  8. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a healthier option. Can add bell peppers or carrots for more veggies.
