Ingredients

1 large chicken breast
2 cups white rice
1 large carrot
1 small onion
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup ketchup
2 1/2 cups water or low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Melt the butter in a 5-quart pot over medium heat, then cook the diced onion and carrot for 5 minutes.
Add the diced chicken, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, and cook for 6 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 F.
Stir in the ketchup and rice, coating the grains with the butter and pan juices.
Pour in the water or broth, bring it to a boil, and stir once.
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from the heat, keep it covered for 5 minutes, and fluff the rice with a fork.
