Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Pride White Rice
- 1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (optional, for enhanced flavor)
- Handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, into the skillet and sear until they turn golden and attain a crispy texture. Flip the chicken and sear the other side. Set aside the seared chicken.
- In the same skillet, add Pride White Rice and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grains become lightly toasted.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and chicken broth, ensuring they are thoroughly combined with the rice. Optionally, add the sun-dried tomatoes for an extra burst of flavor. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and carefully place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the rice becomes tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Once the skillet is removed from heat, sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the chicken and rice. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Serve this Pride White Rice delight straight from the pan, allowing your loved ones to relish the flavorful combination of crispy chicken, aromatic rice, and vibrant basil.
- Take a moment to appreciate the convenience of this one-pan meal, showcasing the exceptional taste and quality of Pride White Rice.
