Everyone loves eating food but not everyone loves cooking it! I have a love for both and over a few years have learned how to cook a few nice dishes at home easily and they are all simple to make.
This dish is simply chicken and rice but the flavours are amazing and will make your mouth water.
Ingredients
- Onion/Shallot
- Carrot
- Bell pepper
- Chicken breast
- Rice
- Corn on the cob
Seasonings you will need
- 1 Tbs garlic
- Half Tbs ground white pepper
- 1 Tbs thyme
- 1 Tbs mustard powder
- 1 Tbs chili powder
- Half Tbs cayenne pepper powder
- Chicken seasoning
First of all chop all of your vegetables up and start to fry them in a pan after 2 minutes add all of the seasonings apart from the chicken seasoning, let the vegetables become a bit soft usually takes 5 mins at a high temperature and then get ready to add the chicken.
Wash your chicken and then add the chicken seasoning and make sure all pieces are evenly coated, this would of been done preferably earlier in the day so that it can get into the meat. Now throw the chicken in the pan with the vegetables and cook it until its slightly charred on the outside. When everything is close to being burnt add a glass of water in or chicken stock.
Let all of that simmer and reduce.
Now I will tell you how to make the perfect rice, get a pan of water boiling and add a little bit of coconut oil, garlic and chicken seasoning. Add the rice and cook until it is done, after it is finished quickly drain any excess water and put the rice back in the pan, put the lid on the pan and let the rice sit there in its own steam for 5 minutes this will make it extremely fluffy!
Now as the rice is finishing turn up the heat on the chicken so its bubbling and let it reduce some more, this will make the water in it become thicker and more of a sauce.
For the corn on the cob just boil it in water and then sprinkle a little paprika on it.
Optional extra add cut up potatoes to the chicken dish when you add the water this will cook them and they will soak up all the juices from the chicken.Finally plate up and go enjoy your food! It should look something like this.
