One-Pan Paprika Chicken and Rice

Ingredients for One-Pan Paprika Chicken and Rice:

Smoked paprika - 1 tbsp.

Kosher salt - 1 1/2 tsp.

Ground black pepper - 3/4 tsp.

Chicken thighs fillet - 1 1/2 lbs. (skin-on)

Basmati rice - 1 1/4 cup (or any other long-grain rice)

Red bell pepper - 1 (roughly chopped)

Yellow onion - 1 (peeled and chopped)

Garlic - 4 cloves (peeled and smashed)

Olive oil - 1/4 cup

Tomato - 1 (roughly chopped)

Parsley - a handful (finely chopped)

Lemon - 1 (cut into wedges)

Green beans - 1 1/2 cups (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Method of preparing the One-Pan Paprika Chicken and Rice:

Combine the spices: paprika, black pepper, and salt. Pat the chicken dry and season with the mix.
Wash the rice three times. Then cover the rice with cold water to soak. Set aside.
In a food processor, puree together the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Add water as needed.
Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the chicken skin-side-down. Cook 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
Transfer the pureed vegetables to the same skillet and add 1 1/2 tsp paprika and a pinch salt. Cook the puree on medium-high heat until soft and add the tomatoes. Cook for 2-4 minutes.
Drain the rice and add it to the skillet, along with the green beans. Add 2 cups of water, and mix everything well. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Then bring the rice to a boil.
Transfer the chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce the heat to a simmer for 25-30 minutes. If the water evaporates quicker than the rice is fully cooked, add a splash of water and continue cooking.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes, then drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Chef's Tip:

After step 1, you can let the chicken dry-brine in the paprika spice mix for 24 hours before cooking it.
