👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Sear chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes
4
Add chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
⏱️ 7 minutes
💡 プロのコツ: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

💡 プロのコツ: Be careful not to burn the spices.
6
Stir in the rinsed rice and coat it with the spice mixture and oil.
⏱️ 1 minute

Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot, nestling them into the rice. Pour in the chicken broth. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

9
Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is tender and cooked.
⏱️ 60 minutes

💡 プロのコツ

✓For a more authentic Zarb flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice mix.
✓Ensure your pot has a tight-fitting lid to prevent steam from escaping.
✓If you don't have cardamom pods, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom, but add it with the other ground spices.
