Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 green pepper, rinsed, seeded, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • 4 green onions, rinsed and sliced
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces), undrained
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil to a Dutch oven; heat on medium-high until shimmering
  2. Then add the cubed pieces of chicken breast and cook until no longer pink.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Sauté chopped onions, chopped celery, chopped green pepper, minced garlic, and sliced green onions for about 3 minutes or until tender.
  5. Add dry sherry, stirring to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  8. Add the diced tomatoes, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and salt.
  9. Bring the contents to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat.

Notes

If you prefer not to use dry sherry, you can stir in a little chicken stock to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
