Chicken and Yellow Rice Skillet

Chicken and Yellow Rice Skillet

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup white Basmati rice
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp. turmeric powder
  • fresh parsley or scallion, to garnish

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  • Mix the seasoning ingredients together, and generously rub them onto the chicken thighs. 
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side.*
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the rice, turmeric, lemon juice, and chicken stock.** 
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover with a tight lid. Cook until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes. 
  • Turn off the heat, and let in rest with lid on, for another 5 minutes. Serve.

Notes

*If you are using large (very thick) chicken thighs, you may need to reduce the heat to medium, and cook them for 7-8 minutes per side, to make sure that the chicken will be fully cooked after being simmered for an additional 20 minutes with the rice. **You may need to add salt if using low-sodium chicken stock.
