Easy Chicken and Yellow Rice
Cost: $
Ingredients
- Chicken pieces (enough for your family size)
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 cup chicken broth or stock
- Seasoning (A seasoning or your favorite poultry seasoning)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp Branch and Vine Garlic Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Onion powder (to taste)
- Cilantro (or parsley for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365°F. In an oven-safe pan, heat infused olive oil over medium flame. Place the chicken pieces skin side down and sprinkle with your chosen seasoning. Add a pinch of salt. Brown the chicken on both sides until it releases easily from the pan. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove excess chicken grease, leaving a small amount. Add butter to the pan and melt it. Stir in 1 cup of long grain rice and toast it in the butter until it absorbs the flavors. Add turmeric, garlic powder, and onion powder to the rice. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth or stock. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer, ensuring it reaches at least 165°F. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve the delicious chicken and yellow rice with your favorite vegetables.
