Cooking On The Fly Chicken And Rice One Pot Meal Recipes

STOVETOP CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Cook mushrooms over medium heat with olive oil until tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Cook onions (use same pan as mushrooms) until softened, about 5 minutes. Season the chicken with poultry seasoning, thyme, and salt and pepper. Add chicken and garlic, cook 2-3 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned on the outside.
• Add wine and cook 3-5 minutes or until wine is reduced to half.
• Stir in the mushrooms, broth, rice, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer 18-20 or until rice is tender.
• Remove from heat and discard bay leaf. Stir in peas, butter and cream. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
• Top with Parmesan cheese if using.

ONE-POT CRISPY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
• Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
• Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

COOKING ON THE FLY, CHICKEN AND RICE ONE POT MEAL

Steps:

• Preheat a large pot over medium/high heat, add olive oil and chicken and brown chicken well on all sides.
• Remove chicken from pot with a slotted spoon and add all copped vegetables (except canned tomatoes). Sautee' vegetables and garlic about 3-4 minutes until they begin to wilt.
• Add thyme, canned tomatoes (I usually just squish them in my hands out of the can right into the pot) drained beans, chicken broth, vinegar and rice.
• Bring to a boil, stir and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook on low for 20 minutes, stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking. Allow to rest with the lid on about 5 minutes before serving.
• Heap into bowls and serve with a nice salad on the side and enjoy your one pot dinner!

ONE-POT CHICKEN & CURRY RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a a large casserole dish (that has a lid) over a medium heat, then fry the onion, garlic and ginger until brown and fragrant, about 10 mins. Stir in the curry paste, turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon, and stir for a few minutes. Add the chicken and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring to colour on all sides.
• Add the rice, stir well, then stir in the stock, coconut milk, a generous pinch of seasoning, the veg and raisins. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on and cook for about 25-30 mins until the water has been absorbed, the chicken and rice are cooked through, and the veg is tender. Season to taste. Remove the cardamom and cinnamon stick, then scatter over the almonds and coriander. Serve with yogurt and mango chutney on the side.
