Step cooking

Oven Chicken with Rice - a very simple dish. It can be called an analogue of pilaf, although the tastes of the dishes are different. The recipe below is universal. The final taste of the dish depends on what ingredients, herbs and spices were added during cooking. If you take different spices, each time the taste of the prepared dish will be different.

Meat preparation

1. Wash chicken, dry with a paper towel.
   
2. Mix hot ketchup (2 tbsp.), Sweet red paprika (1 tsp.), Garlic crushed in a garlic press (2 cloves), table salt (1 tsp.). Stir the resulting marinade until smooth.
   
3. Brush the chicken thighs with marinade on all sides using a cooking brush. Let the meat stand for 15 minutes.
   

While the meat is pickling, prepare the vegetables.

Vegetable preparation

1. Wash the carrots (1 pc.), Bell pepper (1 pc.) And parsley and dill (a small bunch). Peel the carrots, grate on a coarse grater. Bell pepper cut in half, remove the stem, grains and partitions. Cut pepper into strips of 0.7-0.8 cm thick, 2-3 cm long.
2. Peel onions (3 pcs.), Cut into small cubes.
   
3. Heat the oil well in a pan (50-60 ml). Place carrots, onions and peppers in a pan. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat with constant stirring for 4-5 minutes. Put the fried mixture of vegetables on the bottom of the baking dish, smooth the layer. Peel the garlic (3 cloves), chop finely.
   
4. Spread the garlic over a layer of toasted vegetables.
   

Cooking Chicken Rice

1. Rice cereal (1 cup.) Rinse well.
   
2. Put rice on a pillow of vegetables in a baking dish, distributing it throughout the mold.
   
3. Salt and pepper the rice to taste. Lay chicken thighs over a layer of rice.
   
4. Pour water (400 ml) into the pan. About 1 cm of water should cover the rice layer. Put a bay leaf (2 pcs.). Cover the mold with foil.
   
5. Put bake in the oven, heated to a temperature of 180 ° C, for 50 minutes. Remove the mold from the oven, remove the foil. Lubricate the hips with butter (30 g). Place the rice and meat in the oven for another 7-10 minutes to lighten the hips. Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped dill and parsley (a small bunch).
   

We want to note that different types of rice absorb liquid in different ways. Therefore, in the cooking process, after about 30 minutes, look at the water level and the state of the rice in the dish. Add water or stock if necessary. The advantage of chicken with rice cooked in the oven is that rice always comes out friable.
