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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut in half lengthwise to make thin cutlets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral-flavor cooking oil
¼ cup shallots, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cups sweet apple cider
1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 sweet apple, such as Gala or Fuji - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup chicken broth
3 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked wild rice or brown rice, or combination of the two

Steps:

  • Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • Get a skillet very hot. Once it is hot, add oil to it and brown the chicken on both sides. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until it's a nice, golden color. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. It's okay that it's undercooked, it will finished cooking in the sauce.
  • Over high heat, brown the shallots.
  • Add cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan, getting all the shallots and any leftover browned chicken bits.
  • Before the vinegar evaporates, add the cider and the apple slices. Let this reduce on high for about 3 minutes. The apples and shallots will get very tender.
  • While they reduce, mix the chicken broth and the cornstarch until there are no lumps left, then slowly add it to the bubbling cider and apples, stirring all the time while the sauce thickens.
  • Mix in thyme, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Return the chicken and its juices back into the sauce, turn down to medium-low and summer for at least 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kind of apples: For a sweet and tangy flavor, use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples. For a milder flavor, try Braeburn or Fuji apples.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's golden brown: This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it's tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Serve the chicken and rice immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
