Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Soften the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the cubed chicken breast, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper. Cook until mostly cooked through, about 7 minutes.
4. Add the rinsed basmati rice and cook with the chicken for about 2 minutes.
5. Add the frozen peas and carrots, soy sauce and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
6. Add the water and stir everything together. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer until the rice is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
7. Take off the heat and let the residual steam keep cooking the rice for 5 to 10 minutes.
8. Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle with parsley if you like, and serve warm.
