You guys is there anything better than one pot meals? I absolutely LOVE them and not just because I am trying to avoid washing extra dishes 😉
There’s magic happening when everything cooks together in a single pot – each ingredient gaining extra flavour from the others. An in the case of this one pot chicken and rice recipe the results are OMG deelish!
Asian Chicken Marinade
I don’t often cook with chicken thighs that aren’t skinless and de-boned, but I must admit they taste a million times better.
Do remove some of the skin if there’s a lot and also some of the fat if the chicken is fatty. The marinade will make the chicken super-flavourful and the slow cooking very moist and tender.
Simply combine honey, garlic, ginger with oyster and soy sauce and marinate your chicken for 2-3 hours or overnight for maximum flavour.
One Pot Chicken and Rice
Once you have marinated the chicken it’s time to make magic happen! Pan fry the chicken thighs until the skin is golden and crispy and set aside.
Time for the vegetables to get a turn in the pan – and don’t forget to coat the rice in the flavourful reserved marinade. After that you can sit back and let this one pan wonder do its thing… Can we say YUM!?
