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.

SPICY RED RICE WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Spicy Red Rice With Chicken and Vegetables image

Another dish that I discovered on another site, then tweaked to my taste preferences. For a dish that's not so spicy, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and substitute plain or herbed diced tomatoes for the tomatoes with green chilies.

Provided by Lynne M

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
3 large red bell peppers, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
8 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (I prefer Uncle Ben's)
1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
0.5 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, lightly drained, reserving juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add chicken, bell peppers, onion, garlic and oregano to pot. Saute 5 minutes, then mix in paprika and cayenne pepper. Add rice and stir to coat.
  • Mix in broth and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Cover pot; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken and rice are tender and liquids are absorbed, adding more liquid (I use the reserved juice) by 1/4 cupfuls if dry, about 25 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. There are many different ways to make chicken and rice, so don't be afraid to try something new.
  • Pay attention to the cooking times. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so make sure to cook it for the correct amount of time.
  • Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the 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 made in many different ways, so there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a more elaborate dish, there is a chicken and rice recipe out there for you.
