Chicken and Rice Skillet - Gluten and Dairy Free

You have to think a little in advance for this recipe, but it is so simple to throw together, it is worth it. 

Chicken and Rice Skillet - Gluten and Dairy Free

5 carrots, diced 

2-3 celery, diced 

1/4 of an onion, diced, if desired 

2 chicken breast, sliced into 4 pieces each

1 tsp. salt 

1/4 tsp pepper 

1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 

1 1/4 c. brown rice 

3 c. chicken broth 

Cook veggies for a few mins in a skillet, until softened.  Add chicken and spices and cook for 3-5 mins more, turning chicken.  Add rice and broth.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and turn down heat, to low.  Cook for 50-60 mins until chicken is cooked through and rice has absorbed the broth.

Enjoy!
