Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken thigh cutlets
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 1 red onion cut into 8 wedges
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic smashed with the back of a knife
- ½ cup olive pitted
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes strips in oil
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 14 oz chopped tomatoes canned
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock (or 1 ½ cups water + 1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder)
- Parmesan Cheese to serve, freshly grated
- parsley to serve, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200c | 400F. Heat the oil in a large, shallow ovenproof cast iron skillet/or pan. Add the chicken and fry for 3-4 mins on medium-high heat. Turn and fry again until golden all over.
- Add the onion, red capsicum/peppers and garlic and fry for about 3 mins or until lightly golden and onion is transparent.
- Transfer the chicken onto a plate; stir the olives, sundried tomato strips, basil, oregano, parsley and rice into the pan; allow the rice to soak up all the juices.
- Return the chicken pieces back to the pan on top of the rice; add the tomatoes and stock. Bring everything to the boil, rotate the chicken in the sauce before transferring to the oven.
- Cover with foil and allow to bake for about 40 minutes (depending on your oven) until the rice has softened. Remove cover and change oven settings to grill/broil on medium heat; grill/broil for a further 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and golden.
- Season with a little salt to taste and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese (optional).
Notes
- Searing chicken before baking locks in all the succulent juices and flavours, as well as crisps up the outside, because who wants to eat dry flavourless chicken? Not me!
