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.

GARLIC AND OREGANO MARINATED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PEPPER AND BLACK OLIVE RELISH WITH SAFFRON-TOMATO RICE
Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, ancho chile powder, garlic and oregano in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the marinade in a large shallow baking dish, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a large saute pan until almost smoking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Place the chicken on a large baking sheet and place in the oven, bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from the oven and let rest, 5 minutes.
- For the Roasted Pepper and Black Olive Relish: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.
- For the Saffron-Tomato Rice: Combine water, stock, 2 tablespoons salt and saffron in a medium saucepan over high heat and simmer until the threads open, about 5 minutes. Melt butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add onion and saute until soft. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil and butter. Add the saffron broth, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the rice is tender about 12 to 15 minutes. Fold in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Rip tomatoes have a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not brown evenly and will likely steam instead of fry.
- Season the chicken generously: This will help to give the chicken flavor throughout.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the dish, so use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
- Simmer the chicken until it is cooked through: This will ensure that the chicken is tender and juicy.
- Add the rice and vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the rice and vegetables from overcooking.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the rice and vegetables are still hot and fluffy.
Conclusion:
This tomato chicken and rice is a quick and easy one-pot meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
