Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked white rice – gentle on the digestive system
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded – lean protein source
• 1/2 cup cooked carrots, finely chopped – soft, low-fiber vegetable
• 1/2 cup cooked zucchini, peeled and diced – easily digestible
• 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt – adds creaminess and probiotics
• 1 teaspoon olive oil – healthy fat for flavor and digestion
• 1/4 teaspoon salt – enhances flavor without excess sodium
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric – anti-inflammatory benefits
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) – for garnish and mild flavor

Equipment

• Medium saucepan
• Mixing bowl
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Fine mesh strainer (for rinsing rice)
• Serving plates or bowls

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice: Rinse 1/2 cup of uncooked white rice under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess starch. Add to a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
2. Cook the chicken: In a separate pot, poach the chicken breast in simmering water until fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from water and shred using two forks.
3. Prepare vegetables: Peel, chop, and steam the carrots and zucchini until soft, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess water.
4. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently fold together the cooked rice, shredded chicken, and steamed vegetables.
5. Add flavor: Stir in the olive oil, low-fat plain yogurt, salt, and turmeric until everything is evenly coated.
6. Heat through: Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and warm over low heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
7. Garnish and serve: Plate the dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm for best results.

Tips & Variations

“Start with small portions and observe how your body responds, especially when introducing new ingredients.”

Feel free to substitute the chicken with lean turkey or firm fish if preferred. You can also swap the vegetables for other low-fiber options such as peeled pumpkin or peeled cucumber.

Avoid adding spicy seasonings or high-fiber ingredients like beans or whole grains.

For added flavor without irritation, consider incorporating mild herbs like basil or chives. If dairy is a concern, replace yogurt with lactose-free alternatives or a small amount of olive oil for creaminess.
