Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (3 1/2) pound whole chicken
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, roughly chopped
½ medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 large bay leaf
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 quarts water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
½ medium yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup diced red bell pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup broken uncooked spaghetti (2-inch pieces)
1 ½ cups basmati rice
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon saffron threads, crushed
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
⅓ cup frozen green peas, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
  • Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
  • Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
  • Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
  • Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
  • Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
  • Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.
