FOIL-PACKET RICE WITH CHORIZO AND CHICKEN
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.

- 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.

Steps:
- The night before: Unravel thighs to flatten and scrunch together in a large shallow oven-safe pan. Combine the following in a small mixing bowl in this order: spices, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and hot chili sauce. Stir. Pour evenly over chicken. Flip the chicken around with a fork until each piece is well coated. End by making sure the rough side of the thigh is down. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine rice and water in a larger oven-safe pot. Stir. Cover and place in preheated oven.
- Turn chicken over with a fork. Place in preheated oven, beside rice. Set timer for 50 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time for chicken, I like to flip the chicken over again. When the timer rings for chicken, turn off heat but leave it in the oven.
- Rinse broccoli in colander. Place in a microwave-safe pot or casserole dish with lid. Cover, then microwave at high for 5 minutes. When timer rings, add seasoning mix to broccoli.

Steps:
- Pat chicken dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in butter.
- When the butter is foamy, add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, so brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet; use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, so that the liquid reduces by about half.
- Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cream, Dijon and honey. Cook for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the skillet; garnish with additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

If using uncooked rice, cook it according to package directions before assembling the foil packs. - If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute another type of mustard, such as yellow or brown mustard. - Feel free to add other vegetables to the foil packs, such as broccoli, zucchini, or bell peppers. - If you're using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you can reduce the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. - Be careful not to overcook the chicken.
