👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large stockpot, combine chicken thighs, chopped onion, carrot pieces, and celery pieces. Add 4 cups of water, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
2
While the chicken simmers, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Spread the rinsed rice evenly in the dish. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
3
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken thighs from the stockpot. Discard the cooked carrots and celery. Pour the chicken stock over the rice in the baking dish.
4
Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the rice. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp ground dried spearmint.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms (if using) and some chopped green onions to the rice and mix lightly.
6
Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the liquid has evaporated, and the chicken skin is golden brown.
7
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot.
