Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 Cup Onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 Lb 90% lean ground chicken
  • 2 1/2 Cups Reduced-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 Cup Long-grain brown rice
  • 3/4 Cup Canned pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 Cups Packed spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium/high heat.
  • Add in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, only about 1 minute.
  • Add in the chicken and cook just until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add in the vegetable broth, rice, pumpkin, salt, and pepper and stir until combined. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, boil 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach, cover and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan over top, cover and cook until melted, only 2-3 minutes.
  • DEVOUR
