One-Pot Chicken & Rice I

One-Pot Chicken & Rice I

Sounds really good, I will have to try this one. This recipe is listed using the Uncle Ben's Flavor Infusion Chicken and Herb Rice. For people in Thailand this might be a tough one to get outside of the larger cities, so I will add two more versions of this and will be listed as ...Rice II and ...Rice III.

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet or a medium size pot. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the onions, garlic, paprika, thyme, parsley, stir and cook 1 additional minute.

  • Remove from heat and mix in the peas. Cover and let rest for about 5 minutes.

Notes

For the chicken, this might cost 40 Baht. For the Uncle Ben's Rice I cannot price that yet, I will take a guess at 180 Baht. For 6 servings, this is about $1.10 per serving.
