Ingredients

• 1 onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic
• 20 g olive oil
• 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, diced into 2 cm pieces
• 700 g chicken stock
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 250 g long-grain rice, rinsed
• 100 g frozen peas (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Place onion and garlic in the mixing bowl. Chop 5 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Add olive oil to the mixing bowl. Sauté 3 min / 120°C / Speed 1.
3. Add diced chicken to the mixing bowl. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Reverse / Speed 1. This step will lightly cook the chicken.
4. Add chicken stock, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano to the mixing bowl. Bring to a boil 5 min / 100°C / Reverse / Speed 1. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow for evaporation and prevent splatter.
5. While the stock is heating, rinse the long-grain rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed rice into the simmering basket.
6. Insert the simmering basket with the rice into the mixing bowl. Cook 15 min / 100°C / Reverse / Speed 4. Ensure the liquid is bubbling around the basket.
7. Carefully remove the simmering basket with the rice using the spatula. Set aside. Add frozen peas (if using) to the chicken in the mixing bowl. Cook 2 min / 90°C / Reverse / Speed 1.
8. Return the cooked rice from the simmering basket to the mixing bowl with the chicken and peas. Gently combine 1 min / 90°C / Reverse / Speed 1. This helps to settle the dish and prevent sticking.
9. Transfer the chicken and rice to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
