INGREDIENTS
1
cup long-grain brown rice (do not substitute any other kind of rice, including short grain, instant, or white, as the cooking time and liquid ratios will not be the same)
1 1/2 cups
diced carrots (about 4 medium)
1
small shallot, finely chopped, about 1/4 cup (you can also use 1/2 of a small regular onion, though I prefer the more mild flavor of the shallot since it isn’t precooked)
1 tbsp
Dijon mustard
1 1/2 lb
boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
1 1/2 tsp
garlic powder
1 tsp
dried thyme
1/2 tsp
kosher salt
1/4 tsp
ground black pepper
2 cups
low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup
frozen peas
1/2 cup
nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup
freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided (I love white cheddar for this)
Chopped fresh parsley, optional for serving
NOTES
I used frozen chicken, it cooked about the same time as everything else but worked good. I used about 1.5 cans chicken broth. Yummy with bbq sauce
