Rice Cooker Spanish Rice with Chicken & Shrimp

This is a one pot dish which is also for clean up and since it's in a rice cooker, your rice will be cooked to perfection.

Ingredients for 5 servings:

• 2 cups uncooked sprouted brown Basmati rice
• 1 lb chicken breast (chopped into pieces)
• 1/2 lb raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, chopped)
• 1 diced Roma tomato
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1 chopped green bell pepper
• 4oz green chiles
• 5 cup chicken broth (no salt)
• 8oz tomato sauce (no salt)
• 1.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Seasonings:
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 5 teaspoon chili powder
  • sea salt & pepper to taste
• Garnish:
  • Fresh cilantro

Steps:

1. Spray the inside of the rice cooker with olive oil.
2. Then add all of the ingredients to the rice cooker.
3. Briefly stir the mixture with a spatula, close the lid and select the appropriate cooking setting. I set my rice cooker to “brown rice” and it cooked for about 50 minutes. Just ensure the rice is neither undercooked (crunchy) nor overcooked (mushy).
4. Once it has completed cooking, serve immediately or place in meal prep containers to enjoy throughout the week.

My tip: I can't do shrimp but I'd add some things like mushrooms, asparagus, peppers or whatever you like. Be creative. Make food fun!
