This chicken and carrot rice dish is a tasty and flavorful dish. The dish was seasoned well and just the right amount of everything. The rice was toasted and give that nutty flavor that also helps with the taste.
After a long day of work, this is chicken and carrot rice is a quick meal you need to settle down for. I added shredded carrot but you can throw in any vegetables in but if you have carrot just stick to the carrot. I have other rice recipes that I’ve posted before you can check them out and I will also link some below.
