RANCH CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
• Put the chicken on the lined sheet pan skin-side up and roast until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, turn the heat to medium-low on a braiser or high-sided skillet with a lid. Add the olive oil and onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and let cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Add the rice, ranch seasoning and turmeric and stir to coat. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a brisk simmer. Simmer 2 minutes, then add the cream cheese, lemon juice and one scallion. Stir to incorporate.
• Cover the pot and let cook until the rice is tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat, then uncover; fluff the rice, then stir in the peas and carrots. Replace the lid to keep warm until the chicken is done (the residual heat will gently cook the peas and carrots). Remove the chicken from the oven and arrange the chicken on top of the rice skin-side-up.
• Sprinkle with the crushed chips and the remaining scallions and serve.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using a metal spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
• Add the carrots, celery and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not yet turning golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook just until you begin to smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a boil then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pan and broil until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

RANCH (OR CAESAR) CHICKEN & RICE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and cayenne. Use your best judgement. If you want start with about 1 teaspoon of each. Can always add more later. Add the Dressing and let that sit for 10 to 15 minutes. In a large skillet, put in 2 tablespoons of oil (or enough to cover once hot) and set to medium-high heat. Then sear the chicken thighs skin side down for about 5 minutes. Once golden brown, remove to a plate and set aside. Turn heat down to medium and cook the onions until they start to soften, then add the garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes more. Add the Rice and stir so that it soaks up all the juices. Add in the chicken broth, kale, onion powder, more salt (1 teaspoon) and more pepper (1/2 teaspoon) and additional Dressing if you want (I just use leftover from the marinade since it will be cooked). Place the Chicken into the mixture with the browned side up and then simmer on medium to low heat for about 20 minutes (or the rice is tender). Stir in Baby Spinach and once wilted (in like 1 minute) it's ready. Enjoy!
