Chicken Rice That Wins The Internet Recipes

THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using a metal spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
• Add the carrots, celery and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not yet turning golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook just until you begin to smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a boil then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pan and broil until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

FLAVORFUL CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• First, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Then, prep chicken thighs by patting them dry with a piece of paper towel. Generously sprinkle them with chicken seasoning and set aside.
• Heat 1.5 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium/high heat. When olive oil is fragrant. Sear chicken thighs on both sides for 2 minutes to get them golden brown. Remove from heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and use a wooden utensil to remove the brown bits from the bottom. Then, add onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots and a pinch of salt and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add in white rice, chicken broth, frozen peas, Worchestershire sauce, and spices, and mix to combine. Turn the heat to high. Once the liquid begins to bubble, immediately remove it from the heat.
• Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice and place the top on the Dutch oven.
• Bake at 375ºF for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven. At this point, the liquid should be completely absorbed. If it's not, continue baking for 5-10 minutes until it absorbs. Check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs. It should read at least 165ºF.
• Option to broil the dish on high for around 1-2 minutes to really get the chicken golden brown.
• Top with fresh parsley and then serve immediately.

EASY CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
• Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray, or line with non-stick aluminum foil.
• In your casserole dish, put down a bed of the rice. Pour the cream of chicken onto the rice, and stir well. Use cream of whatever floats your boat if you're not huge on cream of chicken.
• OPTIONAL - You can add a little bit of water to thin out the cream of chicken if it seems a little thick - I usually fill the can of cream of whatever halfway with water and stir that in, but you can add more or less to your tastes.
• Lay the chicken pieces onto the bed of rice & soup.
• Sprinkle all the spices on top. Raid your pantry and add whatever else you feel like using. Add more garlic and less red pepper flakes, use Mrs. Dash if you want to; this is where you get to make the recipe your own.
• No need to stir everything up just yet, but you can if you want. Bake at 400 degrees for twenty minutes.
• Take the casserole dish out of the oven and give everything a nice stir.
• Bake another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is at temperature.
• Give everything another stir once it's out of the oven, serve it up, & enjoy.
