Chicken Bog
Chicken Bog is a hearty one-skillet meal made with tender chicken, veggies, and savory rice. Perfect for quick dinners or meal prep, this Southern classic is simple to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 cup carrots diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice uncooked
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth If you’re poaching your own chicken, use the poaching liquid
- 4 cups cooked chicken shredded; about 1 whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup parmesan cheese optional; shredded
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, raw rice, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the garlic becomes fragrant and the rice begins to get golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock or broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is mostly cooked.
- Uncover the pot and stir in the shredded chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
- Top the Chicken Bog with the freshly chopped parsley, shredded Parmesan cheese, and a splash of lemon juice. Serve the dish hot and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Don’t rush toasting the rice. It brings out a nutty flavor that adds depth to the dish.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time, but feel free to use any shredded or diced cooked chicken you have on hand.
- Parmesan cheese adds a nutty flavor to the dish but you can skip this if you want to keep the recipe dairy-free.
