FOIL-PACKET RICE WITH CHORIZO AND CHICKEN



Foil-Packet Rice with Chorizo and Chicken image

Frozen rice is a versatile shortcut ingredient and the key to these flavorful foil packs. The rice is layered in while still frozen to provide a buffer of time that keeps it from overcooking. As the rice thaws, the other ingredients start cooking and lightly char and then the rice can absorb all the bubbling liquids and rendering inside the pack.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups frozen cooked white rice
1 yellow or red bell pepper (or 1/2 of each), thinly sliced
2 links fully cooked chorizo, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, halved if large
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 12 pieces total
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Toss the rice, bell pepper, chorizo, olives, tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the scallions, reserving 2 tablespoons of the green parts for topping.
  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the rice mixture among the foil sheets. Add the chicken to the empty bowl along with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Put the chicken on top of the rice mixture (3 pieces per packet). Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal, then fold in the sides to form packets.
  • Grill the foil packets, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully open the packets. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and reserved scallion greens.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a flavorful rice blend, such as a blend that includes brown rice, wild rice, or basmati rice.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Some other good options include broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots.
  • To make the chicken more flavorful, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • If you don't have foil packets, you can also cook this recipe in a baking dish. Just be sure to cover the dish with foil to keep the moisture in.
  • This recipe is also great for meal prep. Simply cook the chicken and rice ahead of time and then assemble the foil packets when you're ready to eat.

Conclusion:

Chicken and rice casserole foil packets are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for busy weeknights or for a special occasion. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
