Preparation
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

- If using chicken, add the diced chicken and cook until browned.
- Stir in the rice and mixed vegetables, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the broth, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the broth.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Notes
Use broth for more flavor instead of water. Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. To personalize, feel free to add your favorite vegetables or proteins.
