One-dish satay chicken rice

One-dish satay chicken rice is a flavorful and convenient meal that brings together the aromatic spices and tender chicken in a single pot. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish offers a delightful blend of textures and tastes, making it a hit for the entire family.

Ingredients:

4 chicken thighs
400g
1 tsp curry powder
5g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 cups basmati rice
400g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
3 cups chicken gravy
600g
1/2 cucumber
150g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 1 tsp of curry powder. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the spice.
2. Sear the Chicken:
- In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down. Sear them for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Rice:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 2 cups of basmati rice and 1 tsp of turmeric powder. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the rice is well-coated with the turmeric and garlic.
4. Combine and Simmer:
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken gravy, stirring to combine with the rice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
5. Add Chicken and Bake:
- Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.
- Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the chicken is tender.
6. Prepare the Cucumber:
- While the dish is baking, slice 1/2 cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons.
7. Serve:
- Once the dish is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven.
- Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the satay chicken rice hot, garnished with the sliced cucumber on the side for a refreshing crunch.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken thighs with curry powder and a bit of salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors.

- Wash the basmati rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, which will result in fluffier rice.

- Use a non-stick or heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the rice from sticking or burning during cooking.

- If you prefer a more intense flavor, consider adding a spoonful of peanut butter or a dash of soy sauce to the chicken gravy.

- Let the cooked dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

This one-dish satay chicken rice is not only easy to prepare but also packed with savory flavors that will satisfy your taste buds. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a delicious and wholesome meal that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your culinary creation!
