ONE-POT LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN & RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine lemon pepper, paprika, and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a small bowl.
• In a large oven-proof pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken and place in the pot skin side down. Cook for three minutes, turn the heat up to medium high and cook for an additional two minutes (or until browned). Turn the chicken over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. (Don't worry! It will finish cooking when you put it in the oven.)
• With a paper towel, carefully wipe out excess fat, leaving the seasoning.
• Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
• On medium high, melt two Tbsp. of butter in the pot and add the diced onions and the rest of the minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent (1-2 minutes).
• Add the rice and stir until it becomes translucent (1-2 minutes).
• Pour in the white wine and let it cook until most of the wine has evaporated (about two minutes).
• Add the chicken broth, one cup of milk, and a dash of pepper and stir. Bring it to a simmer.
• Place the chicken back into the pot. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes (remove lid after 20 minutes).
• Remove the chicken from the pot and broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until the skin has nicely browned.
• Add the other two Tbsp. butter, parmesan, ½ cup (118 ml) of milk and parsley to the rice. Stir until well combined. Return the chicken on top of the rice.
• Enjoy!

ONE-POT CHICKEN, PUMPKIN & PEPPER RICE

Steps:

• Slash all the chicken pieces twice each through the skin using a sharp knife. Tip the garlic, ginger, roughly chopped spring onions, pimento, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin, 2 tsp salt and the thyme into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Rub this over the chicken to coat, pushing it into the slashes and rubbing it in as deeply as possible. Reserve any you don't use.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based, deep saucepan (a cast-iron pot works well) over a medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces all over. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. Turn the heat down to medium and scrape any browned bits from the base. Add the onion, red pepper, squash, most of the remaining spring onions and cloves, and stir to coat in the oil. Pour in 100ml water and cook for 5 mins more.
• Add any leftover marinade and cook for 1-2 mins, then stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 mins more. Tip the mixture into a large bowl.
• Return the chicken pieces to the pan, skin-side down. Tip over the rice and veg mixture, then pour over the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with foil and the lid, and cook for 25 mins. When the rice is tender, turn off the heat and leave to rest for 10 mins, then remove the lid and foil, turn up the heat to medium-high and cook for 2 mins, stirring until you can hear the chicken sizzling.
• Spoon the rice and veg onto a large serving platter, top with the chicken and scatter over the rest of the finely chopped spring onion.

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.
