Chicken and Rice with Broccoli Recipe

½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs

salt and black pepper

olive oil

large onion, chopped (1 ½ cups)

broccoli,

cumin

turmeric saffron threads

cayenne pepper (plus more to taste if desired)

chicken broth

½ cups basmati or long-grain white rice

peas

Lemon or lime wedges,

Season chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Add chicken skin-side down and cook without moving until well browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and brown second side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, and add the onions, broccoli and a pinch of salt, stirring until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne and cook for until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Add the chicken stock to the pan and then add the rice and lay the chicken carefully on top. 

Bring the liquid to a boil and then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the rice and chicken are finished cooking, 15-20 minutes. Add the frozen peas during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking. 

Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges

Transfer tomato mixture back to skillet and stir in chili flakes, vodka, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, place garlic bread in oven and bake until cheese is starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley.

Do you like white meat or dark meat when it comes to chicken?

This recipe is out of this world. I made it for the first time a couple weeks ago. This one is a definite keeper. It turned out fantastic and directions were so easy to follow. Thanks for a great recipe I will use over and over again

It was delicious! My family loved it.  There wasn't enough sauce, however. Next time I'll triple the sauce and use 12 oz mushrooms. I warmed the cream and didn't have any curdling. Added cornstarch to thicken sauce but don't think that was really necessary. Served it with pasta and peas on side.

This is amazing. I used the suggestion to add a couple tablespoons of the hot liquid to the cold cream. Also used ginger ale instead of white wine or cider vinger ( didn’t have any). I would add 1/2 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cream for more liquid. I like lots. It was soooo good. I added some adobo for extra flavor. This will go into the family cookbook.

Leave the lemon out! We would no doubt give this four or five stars without the lemon.

I’m 15 and was able to make this for my mom and dad! We all loved it and agreed we’d have to make it again!

This is perfect the way it is . Been stuck inside here with this virus thing floating around so i had to substitute some things for lobys and steamers but it takes up the same space on a plate , sooooo

My family loved it! very easy and tasty...

When adding the cream it curdled somewhat. Nice flavor but I’ve had better. Would like to ya e had the calories for this dish as my husband always keeps count. Also to help recipe I added capers- which really helped the dish

This is so GOOD!!!

I have made this twice and the second time I just couldn't get the sauce to thicken.....I was afraid to cook it any longer for fear there wouldn't be any sauce left....any suggestions on how to thicken it??
Love Love Love this!!!

This chicken scallopini is out of this world!  I am the opposite of a natural cook.  Normally, I hate cooking but this recipe looked so good and it really delivered!! First time and it was spectacular!!

This Chicken Scallopini Will Make You Feel Like A Masterchef

This Skillet Chicken with Couscous is an easy dinner recipe for any night of the week. It's full of great flavor, very filling, and all made in one skillet!

Skillet Chicken with Couscous

chicken thighs (about 4 pieces)

garlic powder

paprika

Salt and pepper

olive oil (divided)

garlic (minced

pearled couscous

Lemon (for garnish)

Rosemary (for garnish)

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle generously over chicken thighs.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Transfer seasoned chicken to the cast iron. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and releases easily from the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

To the same skillet, add remaining olive oil, garlic and couscous, and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the couscous is toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the chicken back to the skillet, and garnish with lemon slices and rosemary, if desired. Place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve the chicken with the couscous with fresh herbs and lemon slices, if desired.

Go green this St. Patrick's Day with a vibrant and flavorful parsley, pine nut, and Parmesan pesto tossed up with spinach pasta, pan-grilled chicken, and wilted baby spinach.

Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Halve chicken pieces on the bias so that the pieces are of approximately equal 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Heat grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush surface with oil and cook chicken until just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chicken should read 150 to 155°F), 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch slices.

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to boil in large pot over high heat. Add pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.

Looking for an easy chicken recipe? This Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken from Delish.com is the best!

Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken

honey

c. low-sodium soy sauce

sesame oil

tbsp. rice wine vinegar

light brown sugar

c. sesame seeds

This recipe made great chicken. We didn't have any leftovers! To make it even tastier, I added some ginger and coconut aminos. The experience is heightened when eaten with noodles; I also recommend making the sauce in the same pan as the chicken, so it has the chance to soak in the flavors.

Great recipe. I am a newbie in the kitchen but this was really simple to make, fast and delicious. I used a linseed oil instead of the sesame oil and it worked out great.

Did anyone else use 1/3 cup of soy sauce  or the 1/4 cup of sesame seed and not be concerned??????

was very yummy!!! Had to use apple cider vinegar instead of the rice wine vinegar but it all turned out great especially using the cornstarch to thicken up the sauce.

lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

broccolini,

Steamed basmati or jasmine rice,

Love this recipe but do you have the nutrition facts/calories?

Loved this!! I got a little confused and put the chicken in the teriyaki sauce to cook but quickly removed it. I honestly didn’t need any of the extra sauce but it was delicious!

This was wildly good. A little more work than I like to do on a weeknight, so I may leave out the broccolini next time. Will make again and again.

Excellent! I doubled up on the cayenne to give it that restaurant burn.

Delicious! Simple and quick to make! Love the spiciness
