Description
This One Pot Turmeric Chicken & Rice is one of our latest obsessions. We love a good one pot meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor and taste, and this recipe delivers on both fronts. It’s the perfect super easy, healthy, and family-friendly weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 4-5-lb whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup white rice, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup water
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Drizzle generously with olive oil.
- In a large Dutch oven or similar oven-safe pot, add the chicken, making sure to spread them out evenly in the pot. Place in the oven to cook for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven and transfer the chicken pieces onto a plate. Add the white rice to the remaining juices left over and add 1 cup of water, using a spoon to distribute the grains evenly over the pot.
- Add the chicken back into the pot, then cover and place back in the oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
