THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE



The Best Chicken and Rice image

Could classic chicken and rice be one of the most beloved comfort dinners to ever hit the plate? We think so. And to blow your mind even more, this version is made in just one skillet. Here we use bone-in, skin on chicken thighs which cook up in exactly the same time as the rice to guarantee juicy chicken. A quick broil at the end creates the perfect crispy skin and gives a little crunch to the rice and vegetables.

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
4 to 6 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 stalks celery (about 9 ounces), sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 large shallots (about 4 ounces), finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup long-grain rice
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using a metal spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
  • Add the carrots, celery and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not yet turning golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook just until you begin to smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a boil then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid from the pan and broil until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

ANDRé SOLTNER'S ROAST CHICKEN



André Soltner's Roast Chicken image

"I can only roast chicken the way I roast chicken," the chef André Soltner told The Times's Molly O'Neill in 1991. Mr. Soltner, then the chef of the celebrated Lutece in Manhattan, was explaining a controversial step in his recipe for the bird, which results in marvelously juicy, flavorful meat. When the internal temperature of the bird has come up to around 158 degrees on a meat thermometer, he adds a teaspoon of water to the roasting pan, turns off the heat of the oven, and allows the chicken to steam gently for three minutes. "For the soft breast," he said. Thyme, tarragon and onion, along with a shower of salt and pepper and just a little butter, do the rest of the work. Amazingly, perhaps, the skin stays crisp. It's a method well worth trying.

Time 1h

Yield At least two servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh tarragon, removing and reserving the leaves of 1 sprig
2 small white onions, halved
1 poussin or small chicken (about 20 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 sprigs fresh parsley
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the thyme, 2 of the tarragon sprigs, the parsley sprigs and onions in the cavity of the chicken; season inside and out with the salt and pepper.
  • On the stove, heat a roasting pan over high heat. Add the peanut oil and the chicken and brown on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and place in the oven. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, basting frequently, or until a meat thermometer reaches between 158 and 160 degrees when inserted in the thigh.
  • Immediately drop 1 teaspoon of water in the roasting pan, close the oven door and turn off the heat. After 3 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and place the bird on a platter. Carefully drain the fat from the pan and place on top of the stove over medium heat. Add the wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape the pan well. Add the chicken broth, the reserved tarragon leaves and the parsley. Simmer for 2 minutes and then remove from heat. Whisk in the butter and serve immediately over the chicken.
