Chicken And Rice With Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw uncooked rice washed
I used basmati golden sella rice
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs trimmed
- 1/2 lb mushrooms
use more if you desired
- 1/2 cups onions finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Herb de Provence
- 3 cups low sodium chicken stock
- Salt and black pepper
Directions
- 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a kitchen paper towel, season with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 of the Herbs de Provence.
- 2
Heat olive oil on medium-high heat, add the chicken thighs to the hot oil, place the chicken thighs skin-side down, and leave untouched to sear for about 4-6 minutes. You should be able to lift the chicken without it sticking to the pan if properly seared and it should also be crispy. Flip and continue to sear on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer it to a plate then set aside
- 4
Add garlic, butter, parsley, and mushrooms to the hot oil and cook until brown, add chopped onions and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes just until the onions are soft and translucent.
- 5
Add washed rice and stir to combine, toast the rice for about 60 seconds, pour chicken stock into the rice, and stir to combine. Deglaze the pan whilst stirring, add salt and the remaining herb de Provence to the rice, and give it a gentle mix.
- 6
Arrange the seared chicken thighs on the rice along with its resting juice, place a lid on the pan, reduce the heat and cook the rice for 15-20 minutes or until it is soft and fluffy.
- 7
Sprinkle some more freshly chopped parsley on the rice, stir to combine, leave the rice undisturbed for another minute or two. Serve and enjoy!
