A DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY CHICKEN & RICE DINNER THAT’S PERFECT TO START THE YEAR | SAM THE COOKING GUY



It’s the start of a new year and since we likely have some not-so-healthy dishes coming our way this year, we decide to kick things off on the lighter side with an insanely delicious (but still healthy) chicken & rice dinner!

We really just have one goal – to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.

If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin – then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.

Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

Cold winter nights at the end of the year deserve something super delicious comforting and easy and this chicken in one pan in about 25 minutes is the Answer deeply flavored there’s spices there’s Chipotle chilies there’s rice the whole thing cooks majestically and you only mess up one stinking pan how great is that let me rephrase that and you only mess up one stinking Sam the cooking Guy 12in cast iron pan with my face in the

Bottom how’s that stcg and look 12 it’s it’s size not that size is everything I’m making up for anything I’m just telling you if you’re only going to buy one cast iron pan let it be big enough that you can do all kinds of stuff in it

And make sure that it has a lid because a cast IR pan without a lid is like it’s like Max without a huge bag of weed it’s like Max without his weed storage closet at home should I keep going make a little rub season chicken cook it and

Then just follow along from there up recipes below before I do anything else hit the Subscribe button it’s free doesn’t cost you anything just says Sam Max chance we’re behind you we support you we’re on team stcg sounds stupid right let’s go we begin with cumin a come on cumin smoked paprika yum

Chipotle chili powder and a good pinch of our BFF which stands for best effing flavor it’s our salt pepper garlic powder combo shop sdc.com for that and all other things Sam the cooking Guy chicken time these are bone in skin on chicken thighs we’re going to do this

We’re going to flip everybody over we’re going to season both sides we’ll start with the back a little extra virgin olive oil a little olive oil to make everything stick we season seon away M we flip and do the same thing and when you’re all seasoned up we go to the pan

And start our cooking and with our pan heating up we glug in some olive oil and in goes our chicken we’re looking for color we’re looking for kind of a beautiful brown on each side we’re not cooking it through that will happen in a little bit so probably you know 3ish

Minutes aside should take care of it and then we move on and after about 3ish minutes oh stop it now you handsome pieces of chicken you all right so everybody gets a flip same thing on this side another two three Minutes all right these guys are done well done in the sense that they’re where we want them they’re not done yet they will be done soon so out they come and in their place goes one yellow onion sliced break it up let everything coat and that deliciously flavored oil

Chicken fat grease that’s basically a bath in heaven right there give this two and a half three minutes just to start softening it’s garlic time make a little home in the middle and in go a ton of cloves as much as you can stand really I mean this is probably five big

Ones let it get a little fragrant oh and fragrant it is now we can mix it in and just as it’s mixed we’re going to throw in some rice and we want the rice to start to absorb some of this deliciousness too and just begin to toast a little bit next up

Chicken broth love that sound couple other things juice of two limes you know how we like to use Chipotle chilies from time to time well guess what this is one of those times so I’m using the sauce the Adobo sauce from the jar of them like that remember our little seasoning

That’s the remainder of it put that in and everybody can get mixed boys I have cilantro I want to put in right at the end please don’t let me forget I’m already scared I’m forgetting now it’s time for our chicken to come back in and

Snug all its way in all right bring this to a boil and we got a nice little boil situation going on grab that lid I told you you needed put it on top hopefully it has my face on it turn it down to a simmer and go clean up you got 15 20

Minutes till the chicken is cooked through the rice is done into perfect and the whole thing has come together and I think I promised easy in the beginning and I don’t know if it can get any easier than this yes I suppose somebody making it for you is easier but

Come on people we got to cook ourselves and voila look at that so here’s what you want you want your thighs to be cooked to about 175 and where we at here 175 176 perfect that’s what you want I know chicken breast 165 dark meat 175 you 180 is fine and

Where’s our rice let’s just see what’s happening here look at that Rice beautiful most of the liquid absorbed beautiful one pot we can add a little cilantro to this whole business oh wait and how can you tell I clean the pantry because those dehydrated onion bits will

Add just a little textural bite oh my gosh I mean what’s not to like well come on let’s have a bite right from here oh it’s gorgeous I need a little bit of rice wow look it come on now M chicken thighs the flavors in this
