👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
💡 전문가 팁: Preheating ensures even cooking.
2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside. Do not cook through.
3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and carrot and sauté until softened.
4
Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant and mushrooms are slightly softened.
5
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice to the pot with the vegetables and stir to coat the grains.
💡 전문가 팁: Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing mushy rice.
6
Pour in the chicken broth or water, salt, black pepper, and ground dried spearmint. Stir to combine.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the liquid covers the rice and vegetables.
7
Arrange the seared chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture. Ensure they are somewhat evenly distributed.
💡 전문가 팁: Placing chicken on top helps it crisp up.
8
Cover the pot or transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
9
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the liquid is absorbed, and the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy.
💡 전문가 팁: If the rice seems dry before the chicken is cooked, add a little more broth or water.
10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
💡 전문가 팁: Fresh herbs add brightness and a pop of color.

Add other vegetables like peas, bell peppers, or leeks along with the onions and carrots.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped chili pepper with the garlic.
