**WHITE RICE RECIPE, SERVES 6-8**
1 lb (.5 kg) chicken breast
1 large onion
3-4 carrots
2 cups (350 g) long- or medium-grain white rice
4 cups (32 oz, 830 ml) chicken stock
1 cup (150 g) frozen peas
2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence (or other poultry-friendly herbs)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
olive oil
salt
pepper
lemons
Get oven heating to 400 F / 200 C. In a large oven-safe pot, heat an ample coating of olive oil on medium-high heat. When shimmering, brown the chicken on both sides. While the chicken is browning, roughly chop the onion. Remove the browned chicken to a plate (it won't be done on the inside yet), and get the onions frying in the pot.
While the onions are going, roughly chop the carrots into small bitesize pieces and add them to the pot. Chop the chicken up into small bitesize pieces. Add the dry rice to the pot, stir and let it toast for a minute. Pour in the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan clean.
Put the chicken in the pot, along with the Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, a lot of pepper, and two big pinches of salt. Put the lit on the pot, put the pot in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the liquid has absorbed all the loose moisture. When the rice is out of the oven, stir in the frozen peas (don't bother thawing them first). Taste and consider stirring in some more salt.
Serve with a lemon wedge for squeezing.
**BROWN RICE RECIPE, SERVES 8-10**
1.5 lbs (.7 kg) chicken thighs
1 large onion
4-5 carrots
1 broccoli crown
3 cups (525 g) brown rice
4 cups (32 oz, 830 ml) chicken stock
1 cup water (optional)
1 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese Five-Spice powder
salt
oil
cilantro
limes
Get oven heating to 400 F / 200 C. In a large oven-safe pot, heat an ample coating of oil on medium-high heat. When shimmering, brown the chicken on both sides. While the chicken is browning, roughly chop the onion. Remove the browned chicken to a plate (it won't be done on the inside yet), and get the onions frying in the pot. Roughly chop the carrots and broccoli into small bitesize pieces.
Put the dry rice in the pan, stir and let it toast for a minute. Add the dry rice to the pot, stir and let it toast for a minute. Pour in the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan clean. Put in the water (skip the water if you want a firmer texture in the rice grains), soy sauce, carrots, broccoli and five-spice powder. Chop up the chicken into small bitesize pieces and add it to the pot. Put the lid on the pot, put the pot in the oven and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the liquid has absorbed all the loose moisture.
When the rice is out of the oven, taste it and consider stirring in more salt. Serve topped with torn cilantro leaves, and with a lime wedge for squeezing.

[@sillyslambo8527]

I love how quick Adam is to just go "You could do this, but you don't have to." I think a big part of why so many people intimidated by cooking or following any recipes is the lack of a certain ingredient or a fear of trying something new. It's pretty normal to hear Adam give multiple alternatives on the fly or remind you that it doesn't *have* to look a certain way, you can still eat it.

He also doesnt use expensive equipment as he knows not everyone has them as hes cookin for casual home cooks

I've made variations of this recipe a few times now, and there's two things I think are noteworthy. 1: Having a Dutch oven or similar vessel with a lid that you can cook the whole thing in (stove top and oven) really makes it a lot easier - transferring between vessels sucks. 2: Using dark meat chicken (such as boneless thighs) instead of white meat means you don't really have to worry about the chicken drying out and going chewy, even when reheating. This is especially nice for making a large batch and freezing some. Adam: if you read this, thanks for putting out videos like this. You're helping thousands (myself included) gain the confidence to cook real, reasonably priced and reasonably healthy meals using practical methods and ingredients. Keep up the great work.

Another important thing I learned the hard Way for the brown rice recipe. DONT USE A CUP OF SOY SAUCE. I don't know if that was a typo or misjudgment or something, but a cup was waaaay too much. Even in the video he only puts in like 1/4 of a cup.

It's amazing how many flavor "tricks" are just laziness that ended up working out, either cause that's what people have done for thousands of years or not. When cutting up something like basil or even fresh sprigs of rosemary, do you pull the leaves off the stem and chop? Nope! Just put that sucker on the board and chop it all at once. Better yet, just drop the entire thing in the pot until the flavor has been released and then toss/compost what's left.

@@danishirfan113 yes, but precook your meat and then just dump everything else in a rice cooker. Search Tomato Rice and Chicken Rice on youtube

[@burningflurber]

@@Foster.Phillip would you mix them or just dump on top of the rice?

[@Foster.Phillip]

@@burningflurber you can do either or

While in California, we just put it all in a pressure cooker and it's done in 15-minutes. I also buy brown rice, grilled chicken breast, and frozen vegetables at Trader Joes, and make this in 15 minutes. While the frozen things zap, i cook the other vegetables and make a sauce.

[@pauho]

I've been cutting up my chicken breast before sauteing for years and I'll be doing this from now on - a great, everyday tip!

[@Ajoi14]

Oh my god!! The first one is a dish we make regularly here in Syria. But we cook it using a stove not the oven. My mom cooks the majority of the carrot, chicken, and peas separately in oil to add on top for a good presentation at the end. So tempted to try your method, and the second one since that one is new 😍

I remember one of my French friends complaining that it's almost impossible to get low alcohol % wine in the UK, in the 7-9% range, I imagine this is similar XD

[@TheYopogo]

I'll tell you a secret. Buy German wine, especially riesling. It's relatively low alcohol and not very fashionable in the UK, so really very very nice wine tends to go for dirt cheap, even in supermarkets.

Frozen vegetables are so underrated. People don't realize that these are picked at peak ripeness and then frozen right away. They even have mixed, pre-chopped bags easiest and quickest vege. You can make a basic stir fry version of these dishes in 10 to 15 minutes with only chicken you have to chop up and rice to cook assuming you don't have a container of cold rice in the fridge, which you really should.

Ace suggestions. Thank you!

[@scrubcaptain9179]

Thank you, this is amazing. I'm really excited to make one tomorrow!

Threw in a Knorr chicken Bouillon cube and a pinch of dried rosemary since that was the only dry herb I had on hand and it came out AMAZING. Strongly recommend that bouillon cube it’s a cheat code!

Great ideas, love both. I’ve even tried this with pasta, then serving it cold.

Love those weeknight meals! Definitely gonna try this one Adam Looks lovely!

I've made this dish 4 times in the last month since seeing this video. From my experience, FWIW, here's how it works for me: - I'll get a package of skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, for around $9. I'll debone these and put them into two freezer bags - Brown the thighs as noted; chop and retain the juices - Sautee an onion as noted - Use a cup or two of chicken stock/broth to deglaze the pan, then add a total of 10 cups of broth/stock (I get a 48oz and 32oz container of Great Value (Walmart), stock/broth. It's cheap, but not as cheap as water) - 1 cup of soy sauce - 1 tablespoon of 5-spice, with maybe a pinch more - 4 cups of brown rice; stir until well-mixed - Add the chicken and juices; simmer for about 5 minutes or so - Place lid on the Dutch oven and place into a 430-degree oven for 90 minutes (yeah, my oven isn't as fancy as Adam's) - Remove, stir, and add a bag of GV frozen peas and carrots (Walmart, and still cheap) - Let sit for a few minutes and serve In addition to this, I will also pick up a few rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club- $5 for a 3 pound cooked bird. When I get home, I'll carve them and place them into a container (leaving the thighs/legs still connected). You can save the juice in a separate container and reheat it before use and pour it over the chicken if you desire. This gives me 8 generous servings, lasting more than a week, of chicken and rice PLUS extra rice for smaller meals and it's dirt cheap to make. When I tire of this, I will make a quick batch of pasta to eat with the chicken.

I learned a variation of this from my mom years ago. She cooked it all on the stovetop in a cast iron pan, no oven. I made this version today with my son and it was good. My favorite variation is adding dried apricots or other fruit and Moroccan spices (I like cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice and cardamom).

[@lancesantana]

this dish actually is a very good interpretation of the Malaysian/Singaporean claypot chicken rice. absolute favorite dish of mine!

[@nothingxs]

I guess slow and steady wasn't enough to keep that bandaid off your fingers, huh.

[@porkupine2465]

Adam: puts rice into oven when the stove can already do the job. me: *Angry Asian noises

[@nothing11558]

Think it just makes sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot , but the brown stuff you get at the bottom when you cook rice on a stove is my favourite part usually 😂.

[@HettesKvek]

I know you're joking, but the oven is better because the heat surrounds the food since it's trapped, whereas a stove only heats from the bottom and a lot of heat gets lost into the surrounding kitchen.

[@CerpinTxt87]

@@HettesKvek He's not joking. People actually think their ethnicity makes them an authority on food.

[@Daniel_Productions]

He's clearly joking, he's using the stereotype that Asians only eat rice.

[@HolyMess420]

When I prep broccoli I cut the florets off and I separate them with my hands, it makes for a lot less waste and mess on the cutting board and surrounding areas; same with cauliflower. For onions I make a V-shaped cut around the root, which gets me a little more to use. 🙂 Great ideas for whenever I can get back to work. 🙃 Thanks, bruv! 💜💚

Great tip on prepping the vegetables first. I can bake but cannot really cook, and get really flustered by multiple burners and the oven going all at once. So I do everything in advance that I possibly can, and it helps ... a lot. I’m better cooking dinner now, but will never cook like my husband does. Thankfully, he loves it.
