Chicken And Brown Rice Medley Recipes

BROWN AND WILD RICE MEDLEY

Steps:

• In skillet or saucepan add both rices, chicken broth and salt, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile mince the shallot. Combine the spices of garlic powder, onion powder and cumin. At 30 minutes stir the spice mixture and shallot into the rice and quickly return the cover so as to not let too much steam out.
• Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes more or until the broth is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat, leave the lid on and let it continue to steam for 10 minutes.
• Fluff and add chopped toasted pecans (or pistachios), green onions (reserve some green onions to top dish at the very end, just for looks) and butter. Mix and then add salt and pepper to taste.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE

BROWN RICE MEDLEY

Steps:

• 1. Brown rice - I recommend cooking good brown rice, which takes about 45 minutes. The flavor is much better than the minute brown rice. Another tip for more flavor is to cook the rice in half vegetable broth, half water. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
• 2. Prepare vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together until well blended.
• 3. Drizzle dressing over rice, tossing gently to coat, until you achieve your desired saturation. Serve!

EARLONNE'S CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and leave it out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. At the same time, add the brown rice to a bowl, cover with water and set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Adjust oven rack position to lower third and heat to 375 degrees.
• Make the spice mix: Add garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper to a small jar or other lidded container and whisk to combine. Cover spice mix and set aside.
• Set a large (10- or 12-inch) cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet (preferably with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and allow to melt. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding, carefully lay chicken legs in pan in a single layer, skin-side down, and cook until golden-brown, 4 to 6 minutes, then remove from pan and set aside on a plate, skin-side up. Meanwhile, drain the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer, shaking to remove excess water; set aside.
• Add onions and celery to pan along with a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook until vegetables are tender and lightly golden, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Return heat to medium-high, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and allow to melt, then add rice and 4 teaspoons prepared spice mix. Toast rice until golden, about 90 seconds, then add stock and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, then taste and adjust for salt - the stock should be a little saltier than you are comfortable with. Turn off flame, nestle chicken legs into the pan, skin-side up, and cover with a lid or foil. (If using foil, take care to create a tight seal to prevent steam from escaping.) Place onto prepared rack in the oven.
• Check the pan after 15 minutes to make sure the liquid is at a steady simmer and adjust oven temperature as needed. Cook until rice absorbs the liquid and is tender and chicken is falling off the bone, about 80 to 90 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees and remove lid or foil from pan. Adjust rack position to upper third of oven, and place pan on rack. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until chicken skin is deep golden brown. Remove from oven, and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• In the meantime, prepare sauce: In a medium bowl, combine sour cream or yogurt, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir, taste and adjust seasoning for salt. Serve with chicken and rice; garnish with cilantro.
• Cover and refrigerate leftover chicken, rice and sauce for up to 5 days. Cover and store remaining spice mix in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
