Preparation
- Grill chicken and cut into cubes.
- Pour the chicken stock in a large pot. Cook on medium heat. Bring to a boil.
- Add the brown rice, potatoes, carrot, garlic and other seasoning. Follow the directions on the brown rice for cooking time. (Mine says cook for 40 minutes.)
- While the above mixture is cooking, I chop the remaining ingredients. As they are done being chopped I add them to the pot.
- When the brown rice is done, it should all be done. (Test just to make sure.)
- Serve!
