Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
14g
1 cup brown rice
180g
1 egg
60g
2 cups chicken gravy
480g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brown Rice:
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold running water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Add the rinsed brown rice to the boiling water.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for about 45 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
2. Cook the Egg:
- In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Pour the beaten egg into the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly for a thin layer.
- Cook the egg for about 1-2 minutes or until fully set, then gently fold it and transfer to a plate. Slice it into thin strips and set aside.
3. Heat the Gravy:
- In a small saucepan, gently heat the 2 cups of chicken gravy over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
4. Combine and Sauté:
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with the melted butter.
- Pour the heated chicken gravy over the rice, stirring well to combine.
- Carefully add the egg strips to the skillet, gently folding them into the rice and gravy mixture.
5. Serve:
- Once everything is heated through, remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the chicken and brown rice with rich gravy hot, garnished with fresh herbs or green onions if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure you rinse the brown rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.

- Cook the rice slightly ahead of time; this allows it to absorb the gravy better.

- For added flavor, cook the brown rice in chicken broth instead of water.

- When making the gravy, continuously whisk to avoid any lumps.

- Feel free to add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to enhance the nutritional value and add some color to the dish.

There you have it! A delightful and hearty Brown Rice dish with a rich gravy that is sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation. By following these simple tips and steps, you can create a comforting and nutritious meal that satisfies both the taste buds and the soul. Enjoy!
