Today, I'm going to show you a really healthy and easy One Pot Rice recipe.
That have both, Spinach and Chicken.
So let's get started.
I'm going to start the recipe with making a marimade for the chicken.
I'm going to start with adding 2 tbsp of Yogurt.
To this, I'm going to add a 1/4 of tsp of Salt.
1/4 tsp of Red Chilli Powder.
1/4 tsp of Garlic Powder.
1/4 tsp of Black Pepper Powder.
And a quarter tsp of Garam Masala powder.
Just going to whisk all of this together.
Now to this, I'm going to add about 200 gms of Boneless Chicken Breast,
Which I have just cut up into cubes like this.
Just going to add that to the marinate.
And now just mix this really well with the marinade.
Making sure that all the chicken is coated really well.
The chicken is really well coated in the marinade,
And now I'm going to let this rest for atleast half an hour.
The chicken has rested for half and hour.
So now I'm just going to start browing it in this pan.
I'm going to add about 2 tbsp of oil.
Just start droping the peices of chicken into the hot oil.
And I am ready to flip and cook it on the other side.
That's beautiful.
The chicken has just the kind of browning that I'm looking for.
So, I'm just going to pull out these peices right now,
Don't worry if they don't cook through completely right now,
We'll cook them again.
Now, I'm moving on to cooking the rice.
So in the same with the residual oil,
I'm going to add about a tsp of Ghee.
And just let that melt.
The first thing I am going to add our some Peppercorn,
That are just lightly crushed.
Add it to the Pan here.
2 Bay Leaves that I'm just going to tear up.
3 skinny Cinnamon Sticks.
1 tsp of Cumin and Jeera Seeds.
About 4 Cloves.
Give that a stir.
And these will just release their flavour and aroma.
4 Green Cardamom Pods that again, I'm going to lightly bash.
And 2 Black Cardamom Pods.
Again...
Lightly bashed.
Just give that stir.
1 Onion that's been chopped finely.
Just swirl that around and let that cook slightly.
And about tsp of finely minced Garlic.
Cook them till the raw smell of the garlic goes away,
Which is very quick becasue it's finely minced.
To this, I'm going to add 2 Tomatoes that have been chopped finely.
Stir that around.
Now, I'm going to add some lovely masalas to this.
Staring with of course a little bit of Salt.
A tsp of Red Chilli Powder.
2 tsp of Coriander Powder.
And 1/2 a tsp of Garam Masala Powder.
The tomatoes have cooked down beautifully,
You can see a little bit of the oil has been released.
This is the perfect time to now add 1 cups of Basmati Rice,
That's been soaked in water for at least half an hour.
I'm just going to tip that in.
Just gently mix that with the masala.
Now remeber I said this was a healthy one pot chicken rice,
So I'm going to add 1 cup of Spinach,
Tha's been chopped up really finely.
Just stir the spinach through the rice,
To make sure that it's mixed together really well.
Now I'm going to add 1 and 1/2 cups of water.
The spinach tends to release water of its own,
So which is why I'm adding a little at this stage,
I'll add more if I need to.
Juice of 1/2 a lemon.
And some Salt.
Give that a very gentle stir.
Let this come to a slight simmer, and while it's doing that,
I'm just going to add the chicken back into the pan.
Just put it right on top.
This need very little cooking time now.
So it will be perfectly timed with the rice.
Npw just cover this with a lid and let it cook through.
It's been about 15 minutues and it smells amazing,
So I'm just going to check on the rice.
Oh Wow! That looks done.
The grains are really nicely cooked, it's extremely fragrent.
And we're ready to serve and eat this One Pot Chicken Rice.
I always make this One Pot Chicken Rice...
When I don't feel like spending too much time in the kitchen,
Because it comes together so quickly and it's so healthy.
So I hope you will try this recipe,
