@dollartreedinners: One Pan Chicken & Rice You will need: 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs ~ $4-5 1 packet of lemon pepper wing seasoning $0.99 1 onion ~ $1 2 cups of rice ~ $1 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder Total cost > $10 to feed a family The chicken steams as the rice cooks, which make it tender and juicy, meanwhile the rice cooks in the juices from the chicken leaving you with rich, flavorful rice. I like to use whole chicken thighs for this because they are very economical. I’m using 3 lbs of chicken thighs which I got for a little over $4 Really you can season this with anything you lito use a packet of lemon pepper wing seasoning, I do recommend the wing seasoning as opposed to the jar of standard lemon pepper seasoning, because it’s more lemon than pepper, and I’ll save about a tablespoon what's in the packet to go in the rice. Add the rest to the chicken and and toss it to coat. Preheat a skillet and brown your chicken thighs on both sides for about 4 minutes per side. This does not fully cook the chicken, this is just for color and flavor. The chicken will cook the rest of the way with the rice. Then remove them from the pan and add in 1 diced onion and 2 cups of white rice. Let these sautee together in the drippings that rendered off the chicken and also be sure to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Next I added in 3 cups of water, I would normally do 4 cups of water to 2 cups of rice but I am holding back 1 cup of water because the chicken is going to release some juice as it cooks. To this I added my reserved lemon pepper seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder. Give this one final stir and let it cup up to a boil. Nestle back in yoru chicken thighs and cover with a lid. Let this simmer until all of the water has evaporated, you shouldn’t see any liquid or bubbles on the surface. For me this took 25 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it rest for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Enjoy! #onepandinner #chickenandrice #lemonpepperchicken #riceandchicken #familydinner #budgetmeals
