ROAST CHICKEN & SPICED RICE



Roast chicken & spiced rice image

Throw together this wholesome chicken traybake for the family, gently spiced using a little curry paste, with just 15 mins prep. Mango chutney adds a fruity tang

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 chicken stock cube
4 tbsp mild or medium curry paste (we used korma)
2 tbsp butter or oil, plus extra for frying
350g basmati rice
1 cinnamon stick
6-8 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
1 onion , halved and sliced
20g toasted almonds
350g green beans
handful of coriander leaves
mango chutney , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 6. Pour 800ml just-boiled water into a heatproof jug, crumble in the stock cube and stir in along with half the curry paste and the butter or oil. Pour the mixture into a large baking dish or roasting tin (ours was 25 x 35cm and 5cm deep), and tip in the rice and cinnamon stick. Season and stir well.
  • Cut a few deep slashes into each chicken thigh, then rub all over with the remaining curry paste and some seasoning. Arrange on top of the rice mixture, then cover the dish or tin with foil and bake for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the onion for 10-15 mins, or until soft and caramelised.
  • Uncover the chicken and rice. The rice should still be wet, but if not, top up with 50-100ml more water. Scatter over the almonds and bake, uncovered, for 10-15 mins more until the chicken is browned, all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through and crisp at the edges. Meanwhile, cook the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 mins, then drain. Scatter the coriander and fried onions over the chicken and rice, spoon a few dollops of chutney over the dish, and serve with the green beans.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother and easier.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying because it allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly.
  • Add the Ingredients Gradually: When stir-frying, add the ingredients gradually so that they have time to cook properly.
  • Use a High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over a high heat, so make sure your burner is turned up high.
  • Season to Taste: Once your dish is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other seasonings.

Conclusion:

This spicy almond chicken and rice recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the almonds add a nice crunch, and the rice is perfectly cooked. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
