- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by chopping the garlic and measuring out the rice and broth.
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken from the pot.
