Herbed chicken and rice
This chicken and rice combo dish went into the kids’ lunch boxes last Tuesday. Cold cooked rice and the meat from the breast of a chicken and there was enough for baon and breakfast as well. This is a variation of the herb-loaded rice recipe in the archive which, in turn, was inspired by the herbed riced I enjoyed at Vieux Chalet. I never imagined that something I threw together in a rush would earn so many praises not only from my kids but from their classmates as well. They share, you know. Can I brag now that I raised them well? 
Ingredients :
4 cups of cold cooked rice
meat from the breast of a 1 kg. chicken
1 tbsp. of dried basil
1 tbsp. of dried tarragon
half a head of garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 onion, coarsely chopped
salt
pepper
5-6 tbsps. of olive oil
Cooking procedure :
Cut the chicken breast meat into small pieces; 1-inch cubes would be good.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink. Add the basil, tarragon, garlic and onion. Season with salt and lots of freshly-ground pepper. Cook until the chicken pieces turn lightly brown along the edges. Add the rice. Stir well. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Cook, stirring often, until the rice is heated through.

Fantastic taste, add a little bit of chilli, great stuff
I found your site through Inquirer I think. I’m a student and I live alone in a dormitory here in Japan. This was the first recipe of yours that I tried and it was fantastic! So quick, cheap, and easy: perfect for lazy students like me. I also look out for new dishes to try on videojug. I plan to try out more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing them!
I’m a newlywed and I’ve been checking your site nearly everyday to get ideas for things I can cook for me and my husband. This is one of the first recipes I’ve tried from your site, and we both loved it. In fact, we usually have herbed rice (same recipe minus the chicken) at least once a week.
