Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ¼ cups water
1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ teaspoons lime zest

Steps:

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER AND CUMIN



One-Pot Chicken and Rice With Ginger and Cumin image

Inspired by Indian flavors, this one-pot chicken-and-rice pilaf comes together in under an hour by taking advantage of spices that pack a punch: Mustard seeds bring heat, cumin adds nutty notes and cardamom provides depth and warmth - and all of the spices are toasted in oil and butter, which concentrates their flavor. Golden raisins lend a touch of sweetness. To make it a vegetarian side, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth or even water in place of the chicken broth.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 2 equal pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground green cardamom (optional)
2 cups basmati rice (about 14 ounces)
1/4 cup golden raisins (about 1 1/2 ounces)
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 medium carrots (about 6 ounces), peeled and very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce and yogurt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add half the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning halfway, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Add butter, shallots and remaining oil and cook, stirring, until butter is melted and shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and cardamom (if using), and stir until very fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Add rice and raisins, season well with salt and pepper and stir to coat, 30 seconds. Add broth, scraping bottom of pot to remove any browned bits.
  • Nestle chicken with any accumulated juices into the mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with carrots, then cover and turn off heat. Let carrots steam for 5 minutes.
  • Add cilantro and fluff rice with a fork. Divide among bowls and serve with hot sauce and yogurt, if desired.

Exotic Chicken and Rice Casserole image

Have you ever been eating chicken and rice and thought to yourself, "This is good, but I wish this was more exotic?" If so, you'll love this. This was inspired by many different recipes from many different places--which is why I chose this recipe name. Sprinkle this with red pepper flakes, if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 5h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 26

⅓ cup plain yogurt
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 pinch saffron
2 ¼ cups chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups basmati rice
1 drizzle olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup plain yogurt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
salt to taste
1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Add yogurt, lime zest and juice, salt, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, white pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and allspice for marinade to a large mixing bowl; whisk to combine.
  • Make one or two slits into each piece of dark chicken meat, down to the bone. Add chicken parts to the yogurt marinade and toss very thoroughly. Wrap in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Grind saffron in a mortar with a pestle. Pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth and stir to combine.
  • Combine unsalted butter and salt in a saucepan; pour in remaining 2 cups chicken broth and chicken broth-saffron mixture. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add basmati rice and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and let simmer gently for exactly 15 minutes; do not disturb while cooking. Turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • While rice is still hot, transfer into the prepared casserole dish. Use a fork to fluff the rice while gently spreading into an even layer. Place the chicken pieces, skin-side up, on top of rice. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Roast in the center of the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While chicken is in the oven, mix yogurt, garlic, green onions, mint, cilantro, salt, and water together for sauce. Reserve in the refrigerator until needed. Serve chicken and rice on a plate and top with sauce.
