Amounts are scaled from the original 6 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Season and brown the chicken in oil, skin side down, 6 minutes; remove.
- Cook onion and pepper 5 minutes, then stir in the rice for 1 minute.
- Add tomato sauce and broth, nestle in the chicken, cover and simmer 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken reads 165°F.
- Stir in the peas, cover 5 minutes off the heat.
Swaps
- Water plus a bouillon cube or a spoon of soy sauce can replace broth.
- Quinoa, couscous or riced cauliflower can stand in for rice.
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
