Description
A vibrant dish capturing Caribbean flavors with seasoned chicken and aromatic rice, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon allspice powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, and allspice for at least 20 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken skin-side down. Sear until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pot, sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until soft.
- Stir in the rice and cook for a couple of minutes until it’s slightly toasted.
- Return the chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through (about 30 minutes).
- Fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit covered for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, soak the rice in coconut milk before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
