⏱️ About 50 minutes | Serves 4 | Easy
Recipe by Hey Taylor 💚
INGREDIENTS
• 8 chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 large red pepper, chopped
• 1½ cups long-grain white rice
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tin chopped tomatoes (400g)
• 2½ cups hot chicken stock
• ½ cup frozen peas
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 4 lemon wedges
METHOD
1. Coat the chicken with lemon juice, zest, garlic, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp paprika, herbs, salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, deep pot. Brown the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, then set aside.
3. Add the remaining oil, onion and pepper. Cook until softened.
4. Stir in the rice, tomato paste and remaining paprika. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Add tomatoes and hot stock. Stir, then nestle the chicken on top.
6. Cover and simmer gently for 25–30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through to 75°C at its thickest part, away from the bone. Add a splash of water if needed.
7. Add the peas for the final 5 minutes of cooking.
8. Rest off the heat, covered, for 5 minutes. Finish with parsley and lemon wedges.
