Ingredients

1 kg de-boned chicken thighs (Chopped into bite-size chunks)
1 onion (finely chopped)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
2½ cups rice
1 cup white wine (alternatively use chicken stock or water)
400 g/14 oz can chopped tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato paste
handful basil (chopped)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
lemon juice (to taste)
fresh basil (to serve)

Steps:

In a large, deep frying/sauté pan, heat a splash of olive oil then brown the chicken on all sides.
Remove from the pan and add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the rice and white wine, allowing the wine to reduce while deglazing the bottom of the pan.
Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock and tomato paste with the basil and season generously. Place the chicken on top of the rice.
Cover with a lid and reduce the temperature. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is cooked to your preference.
Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon then serve with fresh basil and grated Parmesan.

### Tips - When choosing chicken breasts, look for ones that are similar in size so that they cook evenly. - If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts thin. - To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure it is completely dry before adding it to the pan. - If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. - If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use fresh tomatoes. Just dice them and add them to the pan along with the onion and garlic. - If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. Just add 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil for every tablespoon of fresh basil called for in the recipe. - Serve the basil chicken tomato rice with your favorite side dishes, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables. ### Conclusion This basil chicken tomato rice is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights.
