Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2/3 cup brown rice uncooked
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 medium-sized zucchini squash chopped
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breast chopped
- 1 large head kale stems removed, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high and sauté the onion until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped carrots, garlic, brown rice, oregano, basil, and salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
