Provided by Julie Chiou

Categories     Main Entree

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce ((see notes below))
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2/3 cups frozen corn (thawed)

Avocado, diced tomatoes, and parsley or cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet or pot, add olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper then brown chicken on both sides. Using a pastry brush, brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce onto the chicken on both sides while it is browning. Remove chicken from skillet once halfway cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Cook until softened then add corn and black beans. Toss to incorporate. Add the rice to the skillet and gently "toast" it for a couple minutes.
  • Carefully pour the chicken stock in the skillet and add the remaining BBQ sauce into the skillet. Stir to incorporate completely. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a medium-low heat. Place chicken back into skillet and nestled into the rice and liquid. Cook covered for 30 minutes, or until rice is completely cooked through.
  • Add cheese on top and cover skillet to melt. Once cheese has melted, remove skillet from heat and top with avocado, diced tomato, and parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Sunny's Grilled Sweet and Spicy Chicken Thighs and Rice image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 skinless boneless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Jamaican jerk sauce, such as Food Network Kitchen Inspirations Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking Sauce
2 cups raw white rice
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup Jamaican jerk sauce, such as Food Network Kitchen Inspirations Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking Sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Four 1/2-inch-thick red onion slices, rings intact
1 cup Jamaican jerk sauce, such as Food Network Kitchen Inspirations Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking Sauce

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Place a chicken thigh on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound to even out the thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a bowl or resealable bag. Repeat with remaining thighs. Add the Jamaican jerk sauce and mix to coat the chicken evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • For the rice: Add the rice, chicken stock, Jamaican jerk sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a rice cooker. Cook rice according to rice cooker instructions.
  • For the skewers: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 2 skewers on either edge of a chicken thigh, then add an onion followed by another thigh (so the chicken and onions lay flat, not stacked). Repeat with remaining chicken and onions. Place skewers on grill pan and cook 5 minutes, then flip, brush with Jamaican jerk sauce and dome with a large metal bowl. Cook on second side until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool slightly before removing skewers.
  • To serve: Chop the onions. Fluff rice and stir in onions and chopped parsley. Serve with chicken.

HEALTHY GRILLED CHICKEN-AND-RICE FOIL PACKS



Healthy Grilled Chicken-and-Rice Foil Packs image

If you're looking to grill something besides burgers and dogs on your next campout, this low-fat chicken dinner will do the trick. Be sure to use converted rice instead of regular for this recipe (each grain contains tiny pinholes so it cooks faster than conventional rice). If you're in the wilderness, wash out your pie dish after dinner and use it to pan for gold.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup converted rice
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Put the chicken, beans, rice, salsa, pickled jalapenos, tomato paste, chili powder, turmeric and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and toss to combine. Divide the chicken-rice mixture evenly among the pie pans, spreading it out in an even layer. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth into each pie pan.
  • Cover each pan tightly with foil. Put the pans on the grill, close the grill lid and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Carefully remove the foil from each pan (hot steam will escape). The liquid should be absorbed, the rice tender and the chicken cooked through. Sprinkle each with some scallions.

BAKED BBQ CHICKEN WITH RICE



Baked BBQ Chicken With Rice image

This is such an easy, scrumptious dinner meal. Chicken on the bone baked in your favorite BBQ sauce served over a bed of rice covered in BBQ sauce.

Provided by PeachWeb

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h37m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole broiler-fryer chicken, Cut up
1 (28 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
3 cups ketchup
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup bell pepper
1/4 cup jalapeno, cleaned well, ribs removed with a spoon
2 -4 tablespoons sugar, to taste
6 cups cooked rice (that means 3 cups of uncooked rice)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Removed skin from chicken and rinse well. Set aside to dry a bit while you perform the other steps.
  • Spray the (in)sides of your baking dish with cooking spray, it will make cleanup easier.
  • Combine BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar in the baking dish. Add in the (optional) chopped vegetables. (You don't have to stop at the ones I've listed. Also good in there is grated carrot, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, mushrooms -- whatever! Just stay away from vegetables that will introduce too much liquid like squash, cucumber and cabbage. You don't want a runny BBQ sauce.).
  • Stir that all up and place your chicken in the baking dish. I like to 'toss' the chicken so it gets completely coated in the bbq.
  • Cover with foil and place into oven.
  • Bake for 1 hour (up to 1.5 hours -- until you see the chicken start to degrade from the bone).
  • Remove foil and return to oven another 15 to 20 minutes to cook sauce on chicken.
  • Serve atop or beside rice covered in the extra BBQ sauce (and vegetables, if you've added any).
  • ** You can also cook this meal in your crock pot (not the rice, of course)-- just throw it all in there. and make the rice when you get home.
  • ** If you have only 2 people to feed, you can do as I have done for the photo and cook up a single large breast (with skin and bone in -- for flavor) in a covered skillet along with the vegetables. Flip after 15 minutes. After another 20 to 25 minutes, pull the breast out, remove skin and debone, cut into cubes. It may not be cooked completely (especially if you threw it in there frozen), so you may see some blood . Then add BBQ Sauce, Ketchup and sugar to pan, and return the chicken to the sauce. Let cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes to reduce sauce. Alternatively, you could (if you had time and the inclination) place the chicken cubes on a pan, coat with sauce, roast for 20-30 minutes at 400F, put it over your rice and BBW /w veg.
  • The most important things to understand are: 1) it is the flavor of the chicken bones and ketchup that make the BBQ sauce mild enough to eat straight over rice, and 2) avoid vegetables that will add liquid to the sauce.
  • Now, go forth and make BBQ Chicken over rice. :).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using bone-in chicken, be sure to remove the bones before cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken helps to add flavor and moisture. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or try one of the more elaborate marinades from the recipes in the article.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Be sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken, depending on your preference.
  • Use high-quality rice: For best results, use a long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice. Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions: Each type of rice has different cooking instructions, so be sure to follow the directions on the package. Generally, you will need to bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is cooked through.
  • Add vegetables to the rice: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to the rice. Try adding diced carrots, peas, corn, or broccoli to the rice.
  • Serve the chicken and rice with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can really take your chicken and rice dish to the next level. Try serving it with a tangy barbecue sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a spicy Asian sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken and rice is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be cooked in a variety of ways, so you can easily find a recipe that suits your taste.
