Ingredients
- 1 cup garlic paste (Zankou Copycat)
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 pounds carrots , peeled and sliced into 1 inch diagonal coins
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice
- 3 cups chicken broth*
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a baking dish add chicken broth, rice, butter, salt and pepper (I use 1/4 teaspoon of each for the rice)
- Bake rice in the oven for 60 minutes.
- About thirty minutes into the rice cooking time, start the chicken and carrots.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken, carrots, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons canola oil and lemon zest.
- Spread onto a pan and roast in the oven along side the rice, for about 25-30 minutes.
- Everything should be done and ready to come out of the oven at the same time.
- Serve the pilaf with chicken and carrots. Top with garlic sauce.
Notes
- *NOTE* This recipe is best when the garlic sauce is made the day before your meal (at LEAST a couple hours though). There will be lots of garlic sauce left over. You?ll thank me for that when you use it on everything!
