Lots of stress eating and drinking happening over here this week while we wait for the 2020 Presidential results. Last night's fix was comfort food. I made this recipe for Chicken & Rice from Dinner: A Love Story, with a few minor changes. As she said.... I’m guessing you have everything you need for it in the house so when you don't know what to make, give this a try.
Chicken & Rice
2 cups chicken broth plus 1 cup water (homemade stock is ideal obviously)
3 T olive oil
2 medium onions, about 8 ounces, peeled and sliced
salt & pepper
2 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 cups white rice (I used long-grain white rice)
handful herbs, chopped (I used parsley)
juice from 1/2 lemon (I used a ton of lemon)
Bring broth and one cup of water to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, add olive oil to a large skillet (that has a lid) set over medium heat. Add onions, salt and pepper. Cook until onions soften, about 4 minutes.
Add rice to the pan and stir until each grain is covered in oil. Nestle chicken in rice, add salt and pepper, then pour in the broth and water. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
Cook 2o minutes, until all water is absorbed and chicken is cooked through. Garnish with parsley and a huge squeeze of lemon.
