Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken cut into cubes
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound small red potatoes cut into quarters, about 8 potatoes
Coarse salt
Cracked pepper
1 cup shredded carrots
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
3/4 cups long grain rice
1 1/2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick paella pan, wok pan or 12-inch skillet. Add the chicken, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the onions and potatoes and cook, stirring often, until onions have softened and are lightly golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add carrots, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, tomatoes, rice, broth and the cooked chicken. If it appears too dry, add more liquid. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove cover, add the peas to the top without stirring in. Cover and cook 5 minutes more or until rice is cooked through and soft.
  • [Morph] This is super easy to turn into a seafood mock paella by adding shrimp, clams, scallops or pieces of fish during the last 5 to 8 minutes of cooking. Or reheat leftover One Pan chicken chili on the stove with some water or chicken stock to moisten. Place shellfish on top and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shellfish opens. Discard any that don't open. [Morph] Thin the batch out with chicken broth or canned tomatoes and water to soup consistency and you've got a super hearty stew/soup meal.

LIME, CHILE AND CILANTRO MAYO



Lime, Chile and Cilantro Mayo image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups sunflower, groundnut (peanut) or light olive oil
1 red chile, seeded and shredded*
1 small bunch fresh cilantro leaves, very finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pour the egg yolks into a bowl and mix with the garlic, mustard, and some of the lime juice.
  • Adjust the seasonings with salt, and pepper and, using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the ingredients and gradually start to add the oil, one drop at a time. Keep adding the oil until the mixture thickens, and emulsifies. If the mayonnaise looks like it might split or break, add a spoonful or so of warm water and stir it in. This usually "brings it back." If you find that your mayonnaise is too thick, add a little more warm water until you achieve the desired consistency.
  • Stir in the chile, including the seeds (adding a few seeds at a time, depending on the desired heat), the cilantro, and the rest of the lime juice, to taste.
