Chicken One Pot Dinner 🐔
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Chicken thighs should be room temperature and patted dry of any moisture. Season your chicken with the seasonings for chicken rub. Let them settle into the chicken about 30 minutes before browning.
- Chop up all of the vegetables into small pieces. Mince your garlic.
- Add canola or olive oil to a skillet with high sides (oven safe skillet) and brown the chicken starting with the skin side down first. Brown about 5 minutes per side and don’t mess with it! Leave it to get nice and crispy.
- Remove the chicken once browned and add all of the vegetables into the same skillet. Add the garlic once the other vegetables are about half way through cooking (once the onions are translucent) saute all of the veggies until they are golden.
- Next add the rest of the seasoning and the tomato paste. Saute a few minutes.
- deglaze the skillet with the white wine
- Then add the chicken stock and the rice. Bring to a boil. (If you don’t have Better than bouillon then substitute 1 & ½ cups of chicken stock in place of the bouillon and water)
- Once the dish is boiling add the chicken on top of the mixture and all of the juices (drippings)that settled into the plate.
- Cover with an oven safe lid and pop into the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and fluff up the rice with a fork.
- If you want crispy skin chicken then remove the chicken from the dish and add separately back into the oven for about 2-3 minutes on broil
- Serve and enjoy the most delicious dinner!
