Chargrilled chicken fillets on red rice is a delightful and spicy dish that combines tender grilled chicken with the rich flavors of red basmati rice and tomatoes. This recipe ensures a satisfying meal that's both nutritious and full of vibrant colors and tastes, perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
- Finely chop the red hot chili peppers, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
- In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed basmati rice and pour in 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
- Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork.
- In a separate pan, add the canned tomatoes and the chopped chili peppers.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- While the rice and sauce are cooking, preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly spray the chicken breasts with cooking spray oil on both sides.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Mix the cooked rice with the tomato and chili sauce until well combined.
- Spoon the red rice mixture onto plates.
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts and place them on top of the rice.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Chargrilled Chicken Fillets on Red Rice!
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite seasonings for at least 30 minutes before grilling to infuse more flavors.
- Cook the basmati rice in chicken broth instead of water to add more depth to its flavor.
- If you prefer less heat, you can reduce the amount of red hot chili peppers or remove their seeds before adding to the dish.
- Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
- You can add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the rice for extra nutrition and flavor.
