Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken. Simply shred or chop the chicken and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. You can also use instant brown rice instead of regular brown rice, which will reduce the cooking time by about 10-15 minutes. Lastly, if you're not gluten-free, you can use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free flour.
