20-MINUTE BASIL, CHICKEN & TOMATO RICE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken strips and cook until they are just done (4 to 6 minutes).
• Add onion, red pepper slices, and fresh garlic.
• Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables barely tender (4 to 5 minutes).
• Add water, tomatoes, and rice.
• Cover pan and continue cooking until mixture just comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until rice is tender or liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
• Remove cover; stir in basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate leftovers.

TOMATO CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Open the tomatoes and strain the juice into a measuring cup. I usually get one cup of juice from two cans.
• In a 3-qt sauce pan partially melt the butter and add the rice. Mix the rice with the butter and saute 3-4 minutes on medium heat, stirring every 45 seconds or so.
• Add the reserved juice from the tomatoes and enough water to equal a total of 3 1/3 cups of liquid (the amount of water is from an Uncle Ben's package, so please check the cooking directions on your rice and adjust accordingly).
• Using medium-high heat add the oil and onions to your favorite skillet, cooking until translucent.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle on the curry powder and add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for approx 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the chicken with the liquid.
• Remove the lid from the chicken and allow sauce to reduce as it simmers.
• When rice has about 3-4 minutes of cook time left add it to the skillet and stir all ingredients together. I like to add a little more curry powder and red pepper flakes at this stage also.
• When the rice is at your desired texture the dish is ready to serve.

RED (TOMATO) CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Place leg quarters in large cooking pot.
• Add all the dry ingredients except rice and rub into the chicken until all leg quarters are coated.
• Turn on the stove to medium heat and once you hear the first crackling add the wet ingredients. Reserve rice and other 2-3 cups of broth for later.
• Once the liquid boils go to a lower heat for simmering.
• Cover and let cook for 1-1 1/2 hours stirring every 15-20 minutes so that all the chicken is exposed to the liquid.
• Once the chicken is cooked remove from pot and measure the amount of liquid you have left in a glass measuring cup.
• Add 2-3 cups of broth to the left over liquid to measure 4 cups liquid.
• Put liquid back in pot and once starts boiling add the rice. You may need to add some salt to the liquid if you like your rice a bit saltier.
• Lower stove to simmer and simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
• Place chicken back in the pot and once the chicken is warm serve with rice.
