Ingredients

2 tsp ground allspice (more for later)
1 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp ground green cardamom (more for later)
1/4 tsp ground turmeric (more for later)
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions, (about 1/2 large onion)
2 carrots, (chopped)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup cooked chickpeas (or from canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed)
2 cups Basmati rice,
2 cinnamon sticks
1 dry bay leaf
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, (boiling)

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix the spices to make the spice mixture. Set aside for now.
Pat chicken thighs dry and cut them into large pieces (I simply cut each in half). Season well with salt, then season with the spice mixture. Work the chicken with clean hands to make sure all the pieces are well-coated with the spice mixture. Set at room temperature for 20 minutes or so (if you have the time).
In a large and deep cooking skillet with a lid, heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Brown the chicken briefly on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside for now.
To the same skillet, now add onions, carrots, and frozen peas. Cook for 4 minutes or so, tossing regularly, until tender. Add the chickpeas and rice. Season with salt, 1/2 tsp allspice and 1/4 tsp ground cardamom. Stir to combine.
Add the chicken back to the skillet (nestle the pieces in the rice). Add the cinnamon sticks, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Remove from the heat, garnish with parsley.

ONE POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PEAS AND CARROTS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

One Pot Chicken and Rice with Peas and Carrots Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on, split (about 10-12 ounces each)
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped medium
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (10-ounce) package peas and carrots
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot. Add the onion, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the fat in the pot and place over medium heat. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the rice and cook until the edges turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and the wine and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot, skin-side up. Cover, and reduce the heat to low, and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and registers 160 on an instant read thermometer, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Pat the peas and carrots dry, then stir into the rice. Stir in the cheddar and let melt for a minute. Season the rice mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges! Cooking tips: Make sure to take chicken out as soon as it reaches 160.. very important for the juiciness of the chicken!! I only needed to season with pepper at the end, salt was good. USE the lemon juice from the wedges.. DELISH!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 thigh, bone and skin removeds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
½ onion, cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons water, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
Pour sauce over chicken pieces and vegetables and sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER AND CUMIN

One-Pot Chicken and Rice With Ginger and Cumin image

Inspired by Indian flavors, this one-pot chicken-and-rice pilaf comes together in under an hour by taking advantage of spices that pack a punch: Mustard seeds bring heat, cumin adds nutty notes and cardamom provides depth and warmth - and all of the spices are toasted in oil and butter, which concentrates their flavor. Golden raisins lend a touch of sweetness. To make it a vegetarian side, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth or even water in place of the chicken broth.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 2 equal pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground green cardamom (optional)
2 cups basmati rice (about 14 ounces)
1/4 cup golden raisins (about 1 1/2 ounces)
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), peeled and very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce and yogurt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add half the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning halfway, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Add butter, shallots and remaining oil and cook, stirring, until butter is melted and shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and cardamom (if using), and stir until very fragrant, 2 minutes.
Add rice and raisins, season well with salt and pepper and stir to coat, 30 seconds. Add broth, scraping bottom of pot to remove any browned bits.
Nestle chicken with any accumulated juices into the mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with carrots, then cover and turn off heat. Let carrots steam for 5 minutes.
Add cilantro and fluff rice with a fork. Divide among bowls and serve with hot sauce and yogurt, if desired.
