One Pot Chicken Shawarma Rice: An Incredible 7-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 2 cups long-grain rice
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 3 tablespoons shawarma spice mix
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your One Pot Chicken Shawarma Rice:

1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the shawarma spice mix.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
5. Add Rice: Stir in the rice and remaining shawarma spice mix, toasting for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Make sure to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
7. Combine Chicken and Rice: Return the browned chicken to the pot, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
8. Fluff and Serve: Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
