Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the carrots, sweet chili sauce, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the carrots are crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

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

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
3 cups chicken broth
2 ounces Caesar salad croutons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, and season both sides with seasoned salt.
  • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Brown chicken thighs lightly in the hot oil, about 3 minutes.

  • Cook chopped onion in the same skillet until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  • Sprinkle crumbs over chicken, rice, and vegetables, and continue to bake until chicken is done and the butternut squash and rice are tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around the kitchen.
  • Tenderize the chicken: To make the chicken extra tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken and vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you're using a lot of chicken, don't try to cook it all at once. Cook it in batches so that it doesn't steam instead of brown.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: California vegetables are at their best when they're cooked just until tender crisp. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy chicken with rice and California vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy with a hint of heat. Serve it over rice or noodles, and you've got a complete meal that everyone will love.
