Ingredients
for the crispy chicken thighs
- 8 skin-on chicken thighs
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
for the cheesy broccoli rice
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1½ cups Jasmine rice
- ½ cup white wine
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 head broccoli broken into florets
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 200°c.
-
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the chicken thighs then season with salt and pepper and place in the oven to bake for 30-45 minutes or until cooked through and the skin has crisped.
-
To make the rice, add a drizzle of olive oil to a medium-sized pot/deep pan (with lid) and saute the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
-
Add the rice, wine and stock and bring up to a boil.
-
Lower the heat and cover with a lid and allow to simmer until 3/4 of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the broccoli then cover again to simmer/steam until the rice and broccoli are completely cooked.
-
Turn the heat off then season to taste and add the mozzarella. Stir through.
-
At this stage the rice can be allowed to steam, covered, for a further 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
-
Serve the chicken on top of the cheesy broccoli rice.
