Spicy Chicken and Rice Pan
The perfect spicy chicken and rice pan recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 2,5 Cup Basmati rice
- 800 g Chicken breast fillet
- 1 Onion
- 3 Spring onion
- 1 Leek
- 2 Red peppers
- 1 Zucchini
- 2 Carrots
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Rapeseed oil
- 2 tbsp Ajvar
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Hot pepper
- 2 Chilli red
- Chilli powder
- For the marinade: Mix the ajvar, olive oil, salt, pepper, the finely chopped chillies, hot and sweet paprika and the chilli powder.
- Wash the chicken breast, remove the tendons and cut into bite-sized pieces. Then mix the pieces with the marinade. Now let the meat rest in the marinade for at least half an hour.
- Cut all the vegetables (apart from the onions) into small pieces. The onion is cut into small, very fine pieces. The spring onions are cut into rings, the dark ends being kept separately (see picture).
- Heat some butter in a saucepan. Then put the onions in the saucepan and let them turn to glass. Then add the 2.5 cups of rice and stir until the rice begins to discolor and smell good. Then pour the whole thing off with just under five cups of tap water. Now salt the rice. You can also add some chilli powder to the water. Let the whole thing simmer gently with a half-covered saucepan. Important: Stir carefully, otherwise the rice will be mushy and be careful not to burn the rice! The rice should be ready when the water has completely evaporated. The rice should now be done and still have a bit of residual bite. Put aside. If the rice cooks too quickly, simply remove the lid while simmering, the rice should cook too slowly. Lower the temperature and put the lid on it all the way 🙂
- In the meantime, heat the rapeseed oil in the pan and sear the marinated meat. When the meat is done, take it out of the pan and fry the vegetables with olive oil in the pan. First add the peppers and carrots to the pan. Then the zucchini and the light spring onions and finally the leeks. Season the vegetables with all of the spices. Measure the chilli powder according to your personal hot taste;)
- Add the chicken again and stir in the rice. Season the whole thing once more and season it again. Finally fold in the green spring onions and serve.
- Bon appetite 🙂
