COMFORT ESSENTIALS: ZESTY CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need an ovenproof skillet with a lid to make this recipe. If you do not have a lid, you can always use a sheet of aluminum foil. I am using small cast-iron skillets that are 5 inches (12.7cm), and they were perfect for the listed ingredients.
• 3. Baked Garlic I love what baking does to garlic... it mellows the flavor and creates an awesome ingredient that enhances so many diverse dishes. I use it so much in catering that I usually bake 15 or more heads of garlic at a time, and then save them for when needed. Here is the recipe that I use... it is easy/peasy: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?r=4
• 4. No baked garlic/ If you do not wish to use baked garlic, you can use regular minced cloves, but cut the amount in half. For this recipe that would be 2 cloves, minced. No tamari or liquid aminos? Sub an equal amount of low sodium soy sauce, or half the amount of regular soy sauce. Remember that regular soy sauce has a lot of sodium, so cut back on the additional salt. No white pepper? Use black; hopefully freshly ground. No maple syrup? Honey works too. No ground ginger? You can use freshly minced ginger; but double the amount. Other spices to try might be allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, mace, or nutmeg. It will be a different flavor, but they are all considered complimentary spices. If you are using one of these alternate spices, add a few pinches at a time until you like what you taste. No long-grain white rice? Brown rice or another type should do just fine. No toasted sesame oil? Olive oil will do fine. Or you could try another flavored oil, such as avocado or tahini oil. As a matter of fact, if you have some sesame seeds you could toast them up in a dry pan, and chuck them in... Why not? No rice wine vinegar? Regular vinegar, or apple cider vinegar will work well. No chicken thighs? I am using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but I really think you could use just about any part of the chicken. So, experiment with different cuts, and see what works for you. To be honest, any time you sub out one ingredient with another, you will change the flavor of the dish, so choose substitutes that have flavors you enjoy.
• 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. THE CHICKEN
