Boxed Rice Pilaf with Chicken

This is a super easy and quick dinner that I threw together and want to be sure to remember, as hubby really loves it (as do I). I'll have to get pictures next time I make it.

Ingredients:

1 box Rice-A-Roni Rice Pilaf

~1 T. olive oil

~1 T. butter

2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks

kosher salt

coarse black pepper

herbes de Provence

~1/2 T. bottled minced garlic

Directions:

1. Prepare the boxed rice according to package directions.

2. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with kosher salt and coarse black pepper (to taste). Let cook until starting to brown, then stir to turn over all pieces.

3. Season (to taste) with the herbes de Provence. Cook for a few minutes more, then stir in the garlic. Cook until chicken is cooked through.

4. Add the chicken to the rice and stir to mix. Serve and enjoy!
