WARMING CHICKEN & RICE

Use a large cast iron pan or dutch oven

Ingredients:

3 organic chicken breasts

¼ olive oil

½ stick butter

1 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1 C brown basmati rice

2 C boiling water

2 large yellow onions

3 cinnamon sticks

1 Tbls whole cloves

1 Tbls ground cardamom  

1 Tsp ground coriander

1 tsp cinnamon

⅛ C chopped cilantro

⅛ C chopped parsley

Heat your pan & melt the butter, toss thinly sliced onions into the pan on high heat until they begin to brown, then lower the heat to cook for 10-15 mins or until they begin to caramelize.

 

While onions are cooking, cut the chicken breasts into large pieces to your liking, or so you end up with about 10-15 pieces of chicken in total. Place raw chicken in a bowl and toss with all the spices, including salt and pepper.

 

Once onions are cooked, set aside, add the olive oil to the same pan and place the chicken to the pan on medium heat. Use tongs or a spatula to coat the chicken with the oil  and cook for about 7-10 minutes until the outside turns a lighter color then remove from the pan

Add the rice and boiling water, put the lid on the pot & cook at high heat until the water boils, then turn heat down, add & stir in the chicken & onions & turn to low heat.  Let the dish simmer with lid on for 20 mins. 

Once the rice is cooked,your dish is done! 

Add the remainder of the onions and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and cilantro.
