Peel the carrots and cut them into small 1 cm cubes.
Cook the onion
In the hot skillet with the oil, cook the diced onion over medium heat for 2 min until translucent.
Cook the chicken
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet with the onion. Brown them for 5 min over medium heat, stirring now and then.
Add the carrots
Stir the chopped carrots into the skillet with the chicken and onion. Mix well.
Add the rice and water
Add the rice to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds so it soaks up the flavors. Add 300 ml of boiling water, salt lightly and season with pepper.
Tip · For nicely separate grains, give the rice a quick rinse before cooking if you're not sure it's clean.
Bring to a boil
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then turn it right down to low and simmer, covered, for 15 min.
Tip · If you want softer rice, let it rest for 5 min off the heat after cooking before serving.
Check for doneness
Take it off the heat after 15 min. If the rice is still firm, add a little hot water and let it rest, covered, for 2 min. Fluff with the wooden spoon.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
