Ingredients

• 100 g onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic
• 20 g olive oil
• 400 g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, diced into 2 cm pieces
• 650 g chicken stock
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
• 0.5 tsp black pepper, or to taste
• 1 tsp paprika
• 250 g long-grain rice, rinsed well
• 100 g frozen peas

Instructions

1. Add onion and garlic to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec/Speed 5. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a spatula.
2. Add olive oil to the mixing bowl. Sauté 3 min/120°C/Speed 1.
3. Add diced chicken breast or thigh to the bowl. Sauté 5 min/120°C/Reverse/Speed 1.
4. Pour in the chicken stock, add salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat 5 min/100°C/Speed 1. Remove the measuring cup and place the simmering basket on the lid to prevent splatter and allow for some evaporation.
5. Add the rinsed long-grain rice to the mixing bowl. Cook 15 min/95°C/Reverse/Speed 2.
6. Pause the cooking after 10 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Check the consistency; if it appears too dry, add 50-100 g more hot stock. Continue cooking for the remaining time.
7. Add the frozen peas to the mixing bowl. Cook 3 min/95°C/Reverse/Speed 2.
8. Remove the simmering basket from the lid. Cook 1 min/90°C/Reverse/Speed 1 to settle the rice and prevent any sticking to the bottom of the bowl.
9. Let the chicken and rice rest in the mixing bowl for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff gently with a spatula or fork and serve hot.
