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.

CHICKEN AND RICE (HEALTHY, CHEAP, AND TASTY TOO!)

Steps:

• Put the chicken and water in a large pot.
• Bring to a boil on high, then skim the white foamy stuff off the top. Reduce heat to med-high and add all of the seasonings.
• Cook 20-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked (bone-in chicken usually takes 30, bone-out takes 20).
• Remove chicken from pot and place on a plate until it's cool enough to handle.
• While it is cooling, skim the fat off of the broth. I use a measuring cup to do this, but if you have a fat seperator they work even better. You can leave some in, as it gives it more taste (but is less healthy). Make sure you have at least 4 cups of liquid left in the pot.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove fat and bones. Tear into bite sized pieces. Put the torn chicken back into the pot.
• Bring to a boil, then add the rice. Reduce to med-high and cook for 20 minutes, without the lid. During the last 5 minutes, stir more often as it usually starts sticking.
• Taste then season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Enjoy!
