Apple Glazed Roast Chicken And Rice Food

SPICED CHICKEN AND RICE WITH APPLES AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
• Mix the chicken thighs (take skin off if not already off) in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons of the kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, the cumin (1 teaspoon), and the cinnamon (1 teaspoon) until well coated. Set aside.
• Add the basmati rice (1.5 cups), the diced onion, the diced apple, the raisins (1/2 cup), the slivered almonds (1/2 cup), and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the prepared baking dish. Stir to coat in the oil.
• Pour the chicken stock on top of the rice mixture. Place the chicken thighs on top.
• Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, until chicken is starting to cook and liquid underneath is bubbling. Remove foil; bake for another 20 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked (you can check that it's 165 degrees with a meat thermometer if you wish).
• Remove the chicken thighs and place on a plate. Stir the rice mixture to fluff up a bit and distribute all the juices.
• Serve.

APPLE CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon butter until juices run clear; remove and keep warm. Set seasoning packet from rice mix aside. In the same skillet, saute rice mix in remaining butter for 5 minutes or until golden brown., Add the water, broth, apple juice, apple, mushrooms, onion, cranberries and contents of rice seasoning packet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Return chicken to the pan; heat through.

ROASTED SPICED CHICKEN AND APPLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Season inside and out with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and the Baharat. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight; this will help the skin get crispy!
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the onion, 4 sprigs of thyme and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Scatter the apples and remaining sprigs of thyme and rosemary around the chicken, sprinkle with the sugar and a pinch of salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast the chicken until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Let the chicken sit for 10 minutes.
• Discard the herb sprigs. Add a splash of vinegar to the apples and toss to coat. Carve the chicken and serve with the apples on the side.
• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coriander seeds, black pepper seeds, cumin seeds, cloves and cardamom seeds, stirring often, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and blend. Stir in the paprika, cinnamon and nutmeg.

ROASTED CIDER-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH APPLE AND RED CHILE MOLE

Steps:

• For the apple and red chile mole: Heat the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ancho powder, allspice, chiles de arbol, cloves, apples and cinnamon sticks and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Stir in the chipotle puree, then the almonds, tortilla chips and raisins. Add the chicken stock, 1 cup of the apple cider, the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the brown sugar, honey and maple syrup and cook, stirring, another 10 minutes. Stir in the chocolate to melt. Remove the cinnamon sticks and discard. If the mixture seems too thick to blend easily, add a little extra cider. Transfer the mixture to a blender and, starting on very low speed, blend until smooth. Again, if the sauce seems too thick, thin it with a bit more cider. Return the sauce to the pot and cook very gently for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Cover to keep warm while you cook the chicken.
• For the roasted cider-glazed chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the fat renders and the skin begins to turn golden brown. Turn, cook for a few minutes to start browning the second side, and then transfer to the oven.
• While the chicken cooks, whisk together the cider, honey and thyme in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat.
• After the chicken has cooked for about 10 minutes, brush with the glaze. Continue to cook, brushing with glaze occasionally, until the chicken reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes total for the breasts, 20 to 25 minutes for the thighs and drumsticks.
• Ladle some of the mole onto a platter and top with the chicken pieces. Spoon some more mole over the top, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

CHICKEN WITH APPLE AND RICE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
• Heat remaining butter over medium heat in the same skillet. Saute rice from rice mix in the hot butter until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in water, apple juice, apple, onion, raisins, and seasoning packet from rice mix slowly. Bring to a boil. Place chicken over rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

• Spray roasting pan with non-stick spray. Remove skin from breast portion of chicken and top of drumsticks. Place in pan, breast-side up.
• Spoon some of the apple-cinnamon glaze over chicken breast and drumsticks, enough for a thin coating **To avoid bacterial contamination, never touch the spoon to the raw chicken; you may wish to use a basting brush to spread the glaze around on the chicken, but never bring this into contact with the remaining glaze.**.
• Roast uncovered for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours until cooked through and juices run clear. It is best --but not crucial-- to reapply the glaze every 20 minutes or so.
• Heat remaining glaze in microwave and serve alongside chicken.
