  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 11/2 cups (300g) long-grain white rice, rinsed, drained
  • 1/2 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups (625ml) salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 45g unsalted butter
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

 

METHOD

Step 1
Preheat oven to 190C (170C fan-forced). Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with paprika. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and chicken, skin-side down. Cook for 6 mins or until skin is golden and crisp. Turn and cook for 3 mins or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2
Add rice to the frying pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 mins or until toasted. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 mins. Add stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil. Arrange the chicken on top of the rice. Cover pan with a lid or foil. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the rice has absorbed the stock. Uncover and bake for a further 10 mins or until rice on top is becoming crisp.

Step 3
Meanwhile, in another large frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add chickpeas and cook, stirring, for 8 mins or until the chickpeas are heated through and the butter browns.

Step 4
Spoon the chickpeas and butter over the rice. Sprinkle with coriander.
