Mediterranean Chicken and Rice with Feta and Tomatoes

45 min

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tbsp
Chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
4
Rice, long grain
250 g
Onion, finely chopped
1
Garlic cloves, minced
2
Tomatoes, diced
3
Chicken stock
500 ml
Feta cheese, crumbled
150 g
Fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions
1
Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and place them skin side down in the pan. Cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
4
Stir in the rice, ensuring the grains are coated in the oil and lightly toasted.
5
Add the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
6
Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and the chicken is cooked through.
7
Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the top.
8
Cover the pan again and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the feta to slightly melt and the flavors to meld.
9
Serve warm directly from the pan.
