Rice Partially Cooked With Marinated Chicken Recipes

PERFECT THAI FRIED RICE WITH MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Heat a wok or very large skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Pour in vegetable oil. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to high and add marinated chicken to the wok; cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
• Push chicken mixture to one side of the wok; pour eggs into the empty side. Cook until just starting to set, about 2 minutes. Stir eggs slowly until scrambled. Mix into the chicken mixture. Season with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper; stir for 1 minute.
• Stir rice into the wok until evenly incorporated and heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in green onion and cilantro. Mix gently until combined.

MARINATED CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Make several slits in the flesh of each chicken quarter, place in a bowl and set aside.
• Mix the yogurt, chili powder, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil together. Whisk until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Spoon the marinade mixture over the chicken, mix well, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Prepare grill for indirect grilling over medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side, over a gas flame or hot coals, or until seared and golden brown. Move chicken to the opposite side of the grill, cover and cook under indirect heat for 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
• Transfer cooked chicken to serving dish and serve with cooked rice, if desired.

SALSA MARINATED CHICKEN WITH MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the tomatoes and the onion into a bowl. Add the garlic, chile peppers and cilantro and stir to combine. Place half of the salsa in a plastic tub or storage container, season with a little salt, cover and store in the refrigerator. Place the remaining salsa in a large resealable plastic bag and add the EVOO. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper and add it to the bag, shaking it around to coat it with the marinade. Double-bag the chicken in case the first bag leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved salsa and the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes. After about 5 minutes, place the chicken on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes.
• If you are using black beans, rinse and drain them, then reheat them in a small pan with the cumin and some salt and pepper. If you are using refried beans, reheat them in a small pan with the cumin, thinning them with a splash of water.
• Cut the lime into wedges and douse the chicken with lime juice when it comes off the grill. Serve the chicken with the rice.

RICE-PARTIALLY COOKED, WITH MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• TOPPING:Chop chicken, bones and all, in 2-inch sections. Mince scallion, shred ginger root then combine in a large bowl with soy sauce, sherry, salt and sugar. Add chicken sections and let stand 1 hour, turning occasionally. Drain, reserving marinade. RICE:1. Wash rice thoroughly (see HOW-TO, _Rice: To wash), then spread evenly along the bottom of a saucepan. 2. Add the desired quantity of cold water for each cup of rice. (Let rice and water sit covered in pan for 30 minutes before cooking. This softens the rice, but can be omitted.) 3. Bring rice to a boil over 3/4 flame. Boil covered 3 minutes. Reduce flame to 1/2. Boil 2 minutes more, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. (At this point, before the water is completely absorbed, some cooks stir the rice gently from the bottom up so that it will cook more evenly and have less tendency to burn on the bottom. If some rice sticks to the sides of the pot during this stirring, just scrape it down.) 4. Arrange chicken sections over rice. Strain the marinade and pour over rice then cook, covered, over low heat until rice is done (15 to 20 minutes). Let stand, covered, 10 to 15 minutes more then serve. NOTE: The topping is cooked as the rice itself steams. Both rice and topping may be stirred together after, but not during, cooking. The rice will stick to the bottom of the pan if stirred too soon.
