If you are like most college students (poor) then this recipe is for you. I made this recipe on a tight budget and with healthiness in mind. But, of course, the vegetables are optional.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cups rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, diced
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 1 cup water
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Cook the rice, remember 2:1 water to rice ratio, in a medium saucepan with 1 1/2 cups of water
2. While rice is cooking, cook the chicken in a pan
3. Once chicken is nearly cooked, add garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and onion powder
4. Cook bell pepper with chicken or in a different pan if so desired
5. Mix cornstarch and bouillon with 1 cup water and add to chicken once fully cooked
6. Make sure the bouillon is dissolved and mixed, then serve over rice with bell peppers
