Pantry Items
  • EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and pepper
5 Ingredients
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 6 sprigs thyme
  • 1 chicken, about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Pour rice into a 9x13 oven-safe baking dish. Add the chicken stock, lemon slices, thyme sprigs, some salt and pepper. Stir to ensure an even layer of rice on the bottom of the dish.


Arrange the chicken on top of the rice. Drizzle chicken with EVOO and season with salt and pepper.

Roast in the oven for about 1 hour, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from the oven, place chicken on a board and let rest, about 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

Stir rice to loosen.
