Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Slow Cooker     Main Dishes     Chicken

Time 4h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken broth
1 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
8 (5 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ cups uncooked white rice
2 cups sliced carrots
1 pinch chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Turn a slow cooker to High. Combine chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, garlic powder, and cayenne in the bottom of the cooker until mixture heats through, about 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in the hot skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Turn slow cooker to Low and add rice, carrots, and chicken. Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEMON AND GARLIC RICE



Lemon and Garlic Rice image

I love the flavours of lemon and garlic combined in this healthy dish. This would be a good choice served with chicken or fish.

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a small lemon)
1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups chicken stock (I use 2 stock cubes and 2 cups hot water)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
  • Add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the lemon juice and cook for a further minute.
  • Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the liquid mixture, being careful not to burn the rice.
  • Add the chicken stock (or crumble in the stock cubes and add boiling water), stir and cover to cook, turning down the heat.
  • Check on the rice while cooking to ensure it does not run out of liquid and boil dry.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the lid and stir. The rice should still have a little too much liquid at this stage so cook uncovered until the rice is done and the liquid is all absorbed.
  • Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot!

LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS



LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS image

Categories     Bean     Stir-Fry     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Rice, cooked
1/3 cup Beans, cooked, any variety but I prefer black or pinto preferably not from a can
2 teaspoons Butter
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon
1 Egg (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Hot Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne (optional)
Salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, make sure it doesn't burn. Stir-fry rice and beans for 30 seconds then add garlic. Stir frequently allowing for around 30 seconds in between stirs to get some crispy rice on the bottom of the pan but make sure it doesn't burn. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. After around 3-4 minutes add the egg, immediately take off the heat and stir until everything is combined and the egg looks just barely moist (if you wait till the egg is completely cooked it will be overcooked by the time it hits the plate). Stir in lemon to taste and remove onto a plate. Season with paprika and salt to taste. I like to add an additional sprinkling of cayenne because I like a little more heat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fragrant lemons, plump garlic cloves, and long-grain rice.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the rice. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from scorching.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This will help the rice cook evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the rice for the recommended amount of time. Do not lift the lid during cooking, as this will release steam and prevent the rice from cooking properly.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  • Serve the rice immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon and garlic rice is a flavorful and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
