Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken and add the rice to the pan. Stir well until lightly toasted.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup, water, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
