👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the crushed tomatoes, bell pepper, carrots, green beans, thyme, bay leaf, cumin, and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
- 5
Stir in the rinsed rice. Ensure the rice is submerged in the liquid. If needed, add a little more broth or water to cover the rice. Bring back to a gentle simmer.
- 6
Cover the pot tightly and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. Do not stir during this time.
- 7
Once cooked, let the rice rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well distributed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
