how to make the Spicy chicken and carrots with rice

1. Heat up the pan!
   Add olive oil and let it sizzle.
   Now, let the chicken get that golden-brown glow on both sides.
   Remember, we just want to sear it, not cook it through.
2. Onions, your turn!
   In the same pan, let the onions sweat till they’re translucent.
3. Spices galore.
   Throw in the garlic and ginger, sautéing till aromatic.
4. Carrots join the party now.
   Stir them in and let them get acquainted with the onions and spices for a couple of minutes.
5. Rice, rise and shine!
   Pour in the rice, ensuring each grain gets coated with the flavorful mix.
6. Time for the broth!
   Pour it in, nestle the chicken pieces on top, and bring everything to a soft boil.
7. Lid on and let it simmer.
   Around 20 minutes should do the trick – till the rice is cooked and the chicken’s tender.

Pro Tips

1. Love it hotter?
   Sprinkle some red pepper flakes for that extra kick!
2. No chicken broth on hand?
   Water works, just remember to adjust the seasoning.
3. Go grainy!
   Swap white rice with brown or wild rice for added nutrition. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

Serving Suggestion
