If you are looking for a dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor, then this is the recipe for you.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Cooking Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the onions. This will help them caramelize evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Be patient when caramelizing the onions. It can take up to 30 minutes for them to turn golden brown and sweet.
- Use chicken broth instead of water to cook the rice for extra flavor.
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
2. Add the chicken to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the uncooked rice to the pot and stir to coat it with the onion and chicken mixture.
4. Add the water (or chicken broth) to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
5. Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Appearance and Taste:
This dish is a beautiful golden color with caramelized onions and tender chicken pieces throughout. The rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked, with a subtle flavor from the onion and chicken broth. The dish has a savory and slightly sweet taste that is sure to please everyone at the table.
