Introduction
A comforting and highly seasoned one-pot chicken and rice dish featuring crispy-skinned seared chicken thighs, fragrant toasted basmati rice cooked with carrots and onions, topped with a rich garlic butter cream sauce.
Step 1
In a bowl, coat the chicken thighs with avocado oil. Season with Tabitha Brown's Very Good Garlic seasoning, roasted garlic powder, onion powder, Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, Badia Complete Seasoning, and half a packet of Sazón. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the seasoning is rubbed under the skin.
Step 2
Clean and scrub the carrots, then slice them into 1/4-inch rounds.
Step 3
Heat a pan and sear the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Turn the heat down, remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan with the chicken drippings, add a bit of butter. Toss in the sliced carrots and diced onions, then grate in 2 cloves of garlic. Add more garlic seasoning and a pinch of salt, and sauté until the onions soften.
Step 5
Add 2 cups of Basmati rice to the pan. Season with more garlic seasoning and the remaining Sazón. Toast the rice while mixing, then pour in 3 to 3.5 cups of chicken broth.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Rubbing the seasoning under the chicken skin ensures the flavor penetrates deep into the meat.
Toasting the rice before boiling adds a nice nutty flavor and helps keep the grains separate and fluffy.
Be sure to adjust the heavy cream and chicken broth ratio in the sauce to achieve your preferred creamy consistency.
