Chicken and Rice (One-Pot Dinner)

Chicken and Rice (One-Pot Dinner)

If you hate doing dishes, and you are looking for an EASY and DELICIOUS One-Pot Dinner, don’t worry; I got you!

Here is my 30-minute One Pot Chicken and Rice recipe that will blow your mind.

The chicken is tender and juicy, and the rice is cooked with chicken oil, so it is packed with umami flavor.

Give this One Pot Chicken and Rice recipe a try, and let me know how you like it! 

Chicken and Rice (One-Pot Dinner)

I live for One-Pot dinners, so this Chicken and Rice recipe has been a staple dish in my household for the past few weeks.

A one-pot dinner is great for those who are busy and who don’t want to clean alot of dishes.

It is also great because the rice soaks up all the flavor from the chicken, shallots, and herbs, so it is extra delicious.

If you love One-pot dinners, I also have an unreal Creamy Coconut Chicken, Sweet and Sour Garlic Short Ribs, and my favorite Chicken Adobo. 

pan-fry meat

You can use any part of the chicken for my Chicken and Rice recipe, but I use chicken thighs as it is the juiciest and most flavourful.

I don’t recommend using chicken breast, as the breast tends to overcook easily and can become dry.

If you prefer to use white meat, I recommend using chicken breast that has the skin on; that way, the juices from the meat won’t dry.

I am using turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper for seasoning the chicken. You can also season with garlic powder, oregano, and Italian seasoning. 

Chicken and Rice (One-Pot Dinner)

Optional, but HIGHLY recommended, prepare black pepper sauce to drizzle on top of the chicken and rice before serving.

If you want to keep it simple, you can skip the sauce; however, this sauce is perfect if you like HK Style Claypot rice.

All you need is dark soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and alot of black pepper.

Drizzle on the sauce before serving with the heat still on, and mix the sauce with the rice, so it becomes slightly crispy at the bottom.

    Made this today and very flavourful! I made a mistake and used brown rice instead of white rice and had to increase cooking time as my rice was too hard. Will attempt again!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
