This is a recipe I came up with after looking at a few other recipes and not finding the perfect combination for what I wanted. This uses a rice cooker so please make it easy on yourself and buy one if you don't already own one; they're completely amazing.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup pine nuts
1 lemon, zested
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon (such as Knorr®)
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups rice
4 cups water
1 bunch green onions
¼ cup torn fresh basil leaves
10 small thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
1 bunch fresh spinach, roughly chopped
2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
1 cup roughly chopped marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion softens, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir pine nuts into onion mixture; saute until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir lemon zest, vegetable bouillon, and turmeric into onion mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice to mixture and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Pour rice mixture in a rice cooker and add water. Set the rice cooker to the regular white rice cycle, and select Start. Fluff cooked rice with a fork and top rice with green onion and basil. Close rice cooker and steam green onion and basil until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir mushrooms into rice and place spinach on top. Close rice cooker again and steam until spinach wilts slightly, about 5 minutes more. Add chicken, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese; stir to combine. Season with black pepper.
