Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for this dish, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking. If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken, be sure to cook it over low heat so that it doesn't dry out.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for onion, celery, and carrot, but you can also add other vegetables such as bell pepper, zucchini, or mushrooms. Get creative and use what you have on hand.
  • Season the chicken and rice well. This is a simple dish, so it's important to use flavorful seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper are all good choices. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Cook the chicken and rice together. This is a one-pot meal, so you can cook the chicken and rice together in the same pot. This saves time and cleanup. Be sure to add enough liquid to the pot so that the rice can cook through.
  • Let the dish rest before serving. Once the chicken and rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.

Conclusion:

Old-school chicken and rice is a simple, yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
