Preparation

1. Cut chicken into small cubes and season with Mrs. Dash® seasoning.
2. Chop carrots, green beans, bell peppers, and cauliflower. Finely chop garlic and jalapeno peppers.
3. Combine the chopped carrots, green beans, bell peppers and cauliflower in a bowl. Divide in half.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and fry until golden brown.
5. Move chicken to a large saucepan. Add 3-cups chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until chicken begins to soften.
6. Place onion, garlic and jalapeno peppers in the frying pan used to brown chicken. Sauté until tender. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, half the chopped vegetables and 1-cup reserved chicken stock. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Add cooked vegetable mixture to the saucepan with chicken and stock; simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in uncooked rice and continue simmering for 15 minutes.
8. Place remaining chopped vegetables on top of rice. Simmer until rice absorbs all the stock and is fully cooked (add additional water if needed).
9. Garnish and serve.
