I’m recovering from a stomach bug and looking for a simple chicken and rice recipe that’s easy on my digestive system. I don’t have much else to say, but I’m trying to avoid dairy for now (though I do have some vegan “butter” available) and I’m taking it slow with the fiber. Honestly, something a bit bland might be just what I need. I really appreciate any suggestions! I’m super hungry but anxious about eating anything that could upset my stomach again.

Edit: A big thank you to everyone for your recommendations! I’m gradually returning to my usual diet, and your ideas have really helped. I have to admit, I’m getting tired of stressing over what to eat (or not eat).

    I’m glad to hear you’re on the mend! Here’s a simple and gentle chicken and rice recipe that should be easy on your stomach:

    Simple Chicken and Rice

    Ingredients:
    – 1 cup white rice (jasmine or basmati are good options)
    – 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
    – 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    – 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter
    – Salt (to taste)
    – A pinch of dried thyme or parsley (optional, for flavor)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and any optional herbs if you’re feeling up to it.

    2. Cook the Chicken: In a pot, heat the olive oil or vegan butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it’s cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the pot and let it rest.

    3. Cook the Rice: In the same pot, add the chicken broth (or water) and bring it to a boil. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover it, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

    4. Combine: While the rice is cooking, shred or chop the cooked chicken. Once the rice is done, stir in the chicken and season with a little more salt, if needed.

    5. Serve: Plate the chicken and rice warm. You can add some steamed veggies like carrots or zucchini on the side if you feel ready for it.

    Feel free to adjust the seasonings based on your comfort level. This dish is simple, comforting, and should be gentle on your stomach. Wishing you a smooth recovery!
